[Jewelry making - Article 00455] - [Orchid] [Source] Lapis and Chlorastrolite

    I'm looking for a source for high-quality lapis that has been cut/
    shaped and ready for bezel setting, but not polished or formed into
    cabochons. In other words, the face of the stone is left rough, or
    possibly it is hammer-textured or something. (I've searched the
    archives already to no avail and have seen sources for shaped, rough
    textured lapis beads, but none for cut stones.) 

    I'd also like to have a source for chlorastrolite (Isle Royale
    Greenstone) from Michigan. Any leads will be greatly appreciated. 

Thanks,
Bonnie Cooper
