    It depends. I usually sell all of my inlay work eventually. If it was
    the design that didn't sell I unmount the stone(s) and scrap it and
    put the stones back in inventory to be sold or used again when I have
    a better idea. If it was the stone and it was a big stone then I cut
    into two smaller stones and put them into inventory. There are some
    stones I found that are a hard sell when mounted in jewelry. One
    example is Cobaltoan Calcite. It's bright pink druzy. It gets a lot
    of attention but few sales. The stone sells well as cabs so I sell
    it to someone who will make a piece to sell. It's kinda like the
    fruit cake that gets re-gifted...
