Polished Spheres, Eggs, and Pebbles
We have spheres - Over 5000 of them. They are from many countries from many rock types. Locations and rock types are not available for some of the varieties.
A much more limited selection of eggs are available. The pebbles are flattened ellipsoidal pieces of polished rocks. These are mainly from Madagascar.

The pieces are priced mainly by weight, with a few being priced by size. The dimensions shown are approximate and are listed in inches. The number of pieces are estimates. All prices are listed in US dollars.
