    Because not too many people are looking for any one unusual shape,
    it doesn't behoove the catalog folks to keep a supply of them.  If
    you contact them directly you may find that they have a few items
    they didn't want to bother putting on the website. 

    However, your best bet is to go to gem shows - big ones where
    everybody goes, and smaller ones that cater to dedicated lapidary
    folks.  They cut odd sizes and shapes for the fun of it, and are
    deliriously happy to have someone else appreciate them.  Look for
    local shows put on by rock and mineral collecting clubs and lapidary
    hobbyists.  Check the "shows" pages in Lapidary Journal (they're on
    line) - some surprisingly good but small shows are listed there.
