These little landscapes are called Bumble Bee Jasper and are all good sizes for large pendants. I do also have some Bumble Bee pairs that would work for dangly earrings as well.
These gorgeous gemstones which are spectrolite and are translucent. These particular gemstones are special as when they have a silver background they flash blue in different light settings. If any of these interest you please read Design Your Own Ring for the next step.
This red is undeniablely gorgeous, with its vividness and swirls of colour. It is, however, a manmade stone. I am told it is made from the run-off off of gold-smelting mixed with glass. But lovers of red jewellery are not disappointed! Interested? Please see the Design Your Own Ring process. But hurry spaces for bespoke are limited.

Just to get a measure the long green stones are a pair and are 35 mm long. It makes very unique Bespoke Rings or Pendants. See Gallery for Bespoke Jewellery examples
