Let’s take a look at lapidary supplies, just to see what’s on offer there.

What’s a lapidary? An artist or artisan who:

forms stone, mineral, gemstones, and other suitably durable materials (amber, shell, jet, pearl, copal, coral, horn and bone, glass and other synthetics) into decorative items such as engraved gems including cameos, or cabochons, and faceted designs.

Diamond cutters are not referred to as lapidaries, because of the the specialized techniques required. The term “Gemcutter” also usually refers to a diamond cutter.

The Lapidary section at Gemrockauctions.com currently offers dop sticks (sticks on which glues a gemstone, in order to cut or carve it), saw blades, leather pouches to hold the gemstones, gemscopes, optivisors and the like.

So if you’re interested in carving your own gemstones, check out this section of the site today.
