SHELL |
 |
Agoya. Light pale yellow. Shimmers
nicely. |
 |
Awabi, Korean. A very expensive and beautiful
material. It has a real rainbow look to it and is VERY 3D.
Spectacular! |
 |
Conk Shell. Unlike the other shell this one
does not shimmer, but is a creamy/pink color when polished. |
 |
Fresh Water Pearl. This is a nice material
that has a lot of soft browns, tans, and egg shell colors in it. |
 |
Green Fantail. This is similar to Green Paua
except a lot more 3D in nature. Also the bright greens in it can be very
intense. |
 |
Green Heart. Similar to Paua only with a lot
of purple and pink spots. |
 |
Green Ripple. This shell is not green at all,
but a really cool shimmery tan color. The shell is named for the outside color
of the shell. |
 |
Green Standard. Not really green at all. Very
shimmery with dark brown lines here and there. Similar to Green Ripple only
more bluish. |
 |
This is 10,000 year old Mamoth Ivory. It is
legal and no animals die to produce it. I do not support poachers! This isn't
shell, but it doesn't fall in any other group either. |
 |
Mother of Pearl. |
 |
Black Mother of Pearl. Can range from black,
to gray. to greenish. |
 |
Gold Mother of Pearl. I love this stuff and
use it a lot. Its expensive, so many other inlay guys use the fake stuff
(corian). I use only the real stuff, and if you look at the picture you can see
why. |
 |
Blue Paua, VERY NICE! Lots of grain and
color. |
 |
Green Paua. |
 |
Pink Heart. VERY COLORFUL! |

Pink Standard. Similar to Blue Paua only
pink. |

different colors all mixed in. Very pretty. |
 |
Silver Fantail. This is a very nice shell and
a real rainbow of color that really changes with the light angle. |

chips of mother of pearl. Sparkles in all directions. |
 |
Sparkle Paua made from ground chips of Blue
Paua. Sparkles in all directions. |
 |
Azurite, banded. Beautiful dark blue with
bright green lines. |
 |
Azurite, web. Can often be on the purplish
side. |
 |
Bloody Jasper. The photo says it all. What
you see is what you get. |
 |
Blue River Agate. A very distinctive
look. |
 |
Coral. This is a red that can be on the
brownish side. The streakes are a brunt orange in color. |

red than the photo. This look purple and this material is NOT

 |
Typical white mable. |

Mable, brown/white. |

 |
Malachite. This is a great, and little used
color in inlay work. Mainly seen in jewelry, this can really add some great
flare to an inlay. |

Malichite - Webbed. More green than the
photo. Awesome for dragon or snake skin. |
 |
Mexican turquiose. |
 |
Orange/Yellow Spiney. Sunsets, tigger
stripes, etc. |

Turquiose, clear. I little bluer than Mexian
Turquiose and no graining. |

deep green. Great if you are looking for brown. |
 |
Onxy. Pretty much jet black when
polished. |
 |
Pipestone. |
 |
Purple Agate. |
 |
Rhodonite. This is true pink. The white
streaks you see in the sample do not show up once the stone has been polished.
It sort of looks like pink mable, if there was such a thing. |
 |
Yellow Gaspaite. Its called "yellow", but its
really more of a pea green. |
 |
African Black Wood. |
 |
Bocote. When polished and clear coated, takes
on a wondeful gold color. |
 |
Cedar, two tone. Is a lot darker when clear coated. |
 |
Cocobolo. Orange when raw and reddish brown
when clear coated. |
 |
Ebony. This is the best wood to inlay shell
into. The solid black makes the shell look amazing. |
 |
Ebony - Striped. This is also known as
Madagascar Ebony. This is an extremely beautiful wood. The actual wood is
richer in color than the sample shown here. Darn scanner. |
 |
Koa. This is from Hawaii. What an amazing
wood this is. Stunning gold and brown color. Clear coating recommended for full
color. |
 |
Lace Wood. When clear coated, it looks like
birds eye rosewood, if there was such a thing. |

stain well. Pretty, light colored wood with little character spots. |

well. There is a vertical strip pattern on this wood that doesn't show in this

the color. |

Snake wood. Simple put, the prettest wood I
sell. Limited availibility. Serious up charge applies. Shown here with a clear
coat finish. |
 |
Walnut. Become a deep chocolate brown when
clear coated. |
 |
Yellow cedar. A great speciality wood for
inlay material. Cannot be used for t-cover base material. (too thin, the
t-cover would break) |
