shaped gems

hey! any ideas where i can get good quality gemstones, cab and facetted, on line? i made a necklace for a friend using a long marquise shaped, cabachon turquiose as the t-bar catch. she had got the stone from a trip to boston years ago. it worked really well and would love to try setting more big stricking stones like this:dance:

Are you going to the Spring fair?
Thats a great place to find stone suppliers and pick new pieces up

Marquise Jewels - Gemstone Cabochons, Beads and Jewellery Findings

I also buy gemstones from Magpie but can't access my account at the moment to post a link, I'm sure I got the details from here though if you want to do a search.

I've bought some stones from Marquise Jewels as well and they were lovely.
