Cabochon stones (Durham: store, area, location)

[4.paws]

Hobby jewelry maker. Anyone know of a store that sells cabochon stones in the Triangle area (preferably Durham, but I'll drive)?

These people should be able to help you: Tar Heel Gem and Mineral Club...or there are loads of on line merchants.

Another group, which has a listing of upcoming shows.

You could try giving Rare Earth Beads a call, if you haven't already.

STORE LOCATION & HOURS

This group has periodic wholesale shows in NC. It's small but there is a good variety and quality.

You need to look at the stones carefully from lapidary groups - they aren't always cut with a jewelers understanding of setting.

(oops - meant to respond to the op!)

I'll check all these out. Thanks!
