Wonderstone – Classic Layered Stone with Sunset Swirls and Bullseye Patterns
Weight:12 lbs
Wonderstone is a vintage favorite among lapidarists, known for its dreamy, wavy patterns and warm, sunset-inspired colors. This striking material often displays layered bullseye formations in hues of red, gold, cream, purple, and tan, believed to have formed through the slow osmosis of mineral-rich water as the stone developed.
Highly workable and consistent, Wonderstone cuts cleanly and is ideal for creative cabbing projects. It’s a stone full of personality—no two pieces are ever quite the same. Its scenic and abstract patterns make it an excellent choice for both beginner and advanced lapidarists looking for a visually rewarding material.
Wonderstone has long been prized for its artistic potential and nostalgic charm, earning its place as a go-to in many old-school lapidary collections.
