These little mini-planets are just some of the gemstones I have in my inventory.

I have others that are ready to go also, plus many more pieces in the works.

Labradorite, 53.7mm/2.11"

Here we have a multi-color piece with flashes of gold and powder blue. Any peacock would be proud to spread its tail and show off these colors. If you admire butterfly wings and tropical fish why not hold such beauty in your hand?

Planet Peacock #1549*..................$159

Dinosaur Bone, 49.9 x 70.5mm

150 million years ago, in the Jurassic age, this fossil was most likely the leg bone of a big, bad dude. Notice the cell structure clearly showing preserved in the stone. The classic teardrop shape has an ergonomic feel in your hand.

Comet Rosaurus #1504*.................$167

Pietersite, 60.4mm/2.38"

Pietersite was first discoved 50-years ago in Namibia (southern Africa). It has chunks, much like Tigereye, scattered about its multicolored surface and opal patches of white. This is a jumbo size, a whisker bigger than a cueball.

Planet Romulus #1570....................$245

Chalcedony Filled Thunderegg, 2.1"

This creation of Mother Nature gives the impression of an Earth-type planet with translucent oceans and land areas seeming to be shifted about by tectonic forces. A geode crust made the mini continents much like Earth's own crust.

Planet Sister Earth #1844*............$256

Elephant Skin Jasper, 55.2mm/2.17"

This piece has rugged looks combined with a perfect, smooth surface in your hand. Its neutral color tones make it at home with almost any interior. It would be great for "safari" or cruising to town for dinner with your best friend.

Planet Pachyderm #1544...............$128

Amazonite, 54mm/2.12"

This stone is rarely found in this Robin's egg blue color. More usually it's found in a minty green or blue-green. The lacy white background pattern also gives it the appearance plus the subtle texture of dragonskin. A unique and rare find.

Planet Raptor #1529.......................$111

Smoky Jasper, 50.6mm/1.99"

A classic size and a perfect polish team up for a really fine gemstone shift knob. This neutral gray color adds a touch of rusty red on each opposite side for a little extra character. Subtlety could be the more classy choice in some cases.

Planet Ember #1547..........................$89

Rhyolite, 50.2mm/1.97"

Also known as Rainforest Jasper when it has a green color. It's actually a lava formation and not formed of volcanic ash which is more typical of Jasper. As the lava cooled, bubbles formed, and eventually filled-in with colorful silica.

Planet Camo #1582...........................$92

Green Aventurine, 50mm/1.96"

Often mistaken for jade because of the color and buttery finish, this gemstone is different but equal to jade in beauty. It can be found in a few other colors, all of which exhibit a similar inner glow and fine grain.

Planet Krypton #1648.....................$115

Confetti Jasper, 50.23mm/1.98"

This piece has streamers and specks of many colors which give it a Carnival Parade atmosphere. Rhyolite is another name for this stone. It's a composit of wild patterns of colored Jasper mixed with agatized, translucent pools.

Planet Festival #1563......................$112

Banded Peach Jasper, 49.3mm/1.94"

There's no mistaking this stone for a lump of plastic. The layers of volcanic ash from multiple eruptions have rested undisturbed for millions of years to now become a centerpiece for your vehicle. Spirits of eons are held in your hand.

Planet Jupiter #1706.......................$119

Volcanic Lava, 49.9mm/1.96"

Straight from Mother Nature's forge to your floor shift lever, this is one "hot" shift knob for your "cool" vehicle. It's covered with tiny pits created by gas bubbles which cause it to have a subtle texture and organic feel in your hand.

Dwarf Planet Ceres #1531*..............$97

Aquamarine, 56mm/2.21"

This is a very striking stone of the beryl family, which also includes Morganite, Emerald, Yellow Beryl, Heliodor, Bixbite and Goshenite. Definitely a "20 Footer" because everyone who can see it from that far knows it's not a lump of plastic.

Planet Waterworld #1200...............$255

Blue Denim Sodalite, 50mm/1.98"

Multiple shades of blue with splashes of white on the bottom half are inviting as an old pair of jeans and just as comfortable in any vehicle you wish to use it. This gemstone is usually found with a mixed matrix of blue colors.

Planet Storm #1583........................$155

Pyrite/Hematite, 54.9mm/2.16"

A striking feature of this piece is the high-gloss shine that really pops. The matallic, mineral matrix has a little extra heft at 10 ounces or 285 grams. In folk lore it was called "Healer's Gold" or "Apache Gold" for its healing powers.

Planet Black Gold #1814................$167

Picasso Jasper, 50mm/1.95"

One of the earliest stones used by early cultures for ornamentation, Jasper was probably picked up from shores and stream beds where the tumbling action and the wet shine encouraged further shaping and polishing.

Hades Moon #1546.........................$175

Petrified Wood/Dinosaur Bone, 2.16"

Here are two fossils combined into one orb to create an exclusive, unique shift knob. You can plainly see the agatized fossil wood grain and the cell structure of the bone fossil inlayed on top. Great age combined with great beauty.

Two Giants #22...............................$225

Petrified Wood, 49mm/1.92"

225 million years ago, a tree fell in the forest and no one heard it. But the tree was very real as is proclaimed by its agatized remains. I garantee it will last an additional 225 million years. A blend of gray-tan sould be a perfect accent.

Planet Timber #1564.......................$149

Stromatolite Fossil, 54.2mm/2.13"

This is a fossil of the early and longest lived life on earth. It is a caynobacteria that grew in califlower shaped colonies dominating the tidal shores for billions of years. This organism created most of the oxygen in the air that we breathe.

Planet Dragon's Breath #1597.......$115

Picture Jasper, 50.3mm/1.98"

With a little imagination you can see mountains and landscapes made by the brushstrokes of Mother Nature. In early history it was prized for carving into amulets and ornamental figures. And today, this one is used as a shift knob.

Planet Dry Rock #1580......................$88

Nickel/Iron Meteorite, 50.1mm/1.98"

The crosshatch Widmanstatten pattern is your assurance of a genuine iron meteorite. This can only be formed in 0 gravity as the molten iron cools over millions of years in total vacuum. The pattern can't be reproduced on earth.

Planet Core #A7.......... 3 Figure Offers?

Mookaite Jasper, 50.1mm/1.97"

This has the typical mix of white, deep red, chrome yellow and taupe-gray that is unique to this Australian stone. It has been held in high esteem for thousands of years to impart power, strength, and healing to those who carry or wear it.

Planet Walkabout #1555................$130`

Pietersite, 56mm/2.22"

Also called "Tempest Stone", Pietersite is a recent discovery first found in 1962 in Namibia, Africa. This one is deep wine and white but mixes of other colors are found. Another source was discovered in China in 1993.

Planet Mongo #1573.......................$139

African Turquoise, 50.3mm/1.98"

This stone is a clever impostor and is actually a type of Jasper and not true turquoise, but is a much more care-free stone that can stand up to skin oils, cosmetics, and hand creams that may be issues with Turquoise.

Planet Rainforest #1634................$139

Jaguar Skin Jasper, 50mm/1.94"

How fitting that this gemstone comes from Peru, where the Jaguar forests are found. First the brown jasper was formed, then broken into rubble by tectonic activity and reformed again with the lighter colored background.

Planet Jaguar #1554........................$95

Snake Skin Aragonite, 53mm/2.10"

Caramel, brown and cream honeycomb pattern creates an unusual look to this gemstone shift knob. It is an aggregate formed in the hot mineral springs of the Southwest so it's fair to consider it a cousin to cave stalactites.

Planet Sidewinder #1520...............$149

India Agate, 50.5mm/1.98"

The most colorful agates are found in India. This lovely piece is a stormy teal color and is a great example of the type. Smaller chips are often used in earrings, pendants and ring settings but the impact is multiplied by this size.

Planet Tamil Nadu #1632...............$145

Petrified Wood, 58mm/2.31"

Trees were already giants of the Earth when the first dinosaurs saw the light of day. It's quite common that plant and tree fossils to be far older. This piece is possibly a type of palm but a very fine grained and dense variety. Jumbo size.

Planet Oasis #1644.........................$105

Pietersite, 52.7mm/2.07"

About half of this piece is opalized silica which gives it a very "gemmy" quality. Only a couple of locations are left where Pietersite can be found and prices are going up as the supply goes down.

Orion Nebula #1664........................$307

Birdseye Ocean Jasper, 57mm/2.26"

Circles of frosty white sprinkled over a woodtone background combine for an outdoorsy, neutral statement. It would be at home for a day at the beach or on your favorite offroad trail. It's about the size of a cueball to fill your hand.

Planet Rime Home #1680...............$167

Chrysocolla, 52mm/2.07"

This stone gets its geen and blue color from a high copper content. It is usually found mixed with Malachite, Azurite, Cuprite, Quartz, and other minerals. It is rarely found in a single color. This chunky matrix is most desirable.

Planet Rain Forest #1677...............$172

Coral Fossil, 50.1mm/1.97"

This ancient colony of sea reef life has been frozen in time by Mother Nature to be the basis of this relic from the past. It's been reserrected and repurposed to grace a vehicle interior with its organic, natural good looks.

Planet Atoll #1560...........................$135

Seabed Fossil, 50.1mm/1.97"

This is a record in rock from a point in time of multiple sea creatures at the bottom of an ancient seabed. It's a testament that the sea was full of life. Now we have a contrast of the ancient age with the present age of vehicles.

Planet Seascape #1659.................$127

Pietersite, 54.6mm/2.15"

Stormy clouds of light to dark swirls of burnt brown colors, these neutral tones will be the focal point in just about any vehicle interior. This is my favorite size for a shift knob, midway between a cue ball and a classic Hurst knob.

Planet Coruscant #1525.................. $98
