Nice shaped stones

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:
