I found a few stones that have nice shapes or that are shaped in an unusual/interesting shape.
Like this heart-shaped snowflake obsidian:
I do love snowflakes obsidian but when I found this one, I had no resistance left. As it is now, would do a great paperweight! I find it is a great eye catching. It will sure makes people talk.
This is a tourmaline wand (I find it can be also be called a "crayon" because I find it look like one in this case):
I like this shape for tourmaline. It nicely show all or many of the colors that a tourmaline can have. I do have other wands. Not just tourmaline. I just wanted to show that some stones are great looking in this shape.
Here are two agathe, I think. I am not sure of the lozange one. I know I bought the two a very long time ago:
I like slices. Wish I would see more of that. When I will have more experience, I would like to put a silver band around them, as a bezel. I think they would look great as a focal stone. Just have to be cautious and not bang them!
There is also the rectangular slab:
This one is a kyanite, it is quite small. I think it would fit perfectly with silver, making a cartouche like bezel.
Those are obsidian rectangular slab. They are bigger and heavier. More thick too. I alway bought them on a rope but for that time, I wanted to go differently. I wanted to create a necklace myself with those ones:
The next ones aren't exactly stones and I haven't bought them at a gems show. I find their shape interesting. I just wanted to show them up:
