Gemstone Pen Blanks

Gemstone Pen Blanks

Precautions to be observed when turning any pen blank material:

Use very sharp tools while turning and take light cuts.
Wear face and eye protection and keep observers away from the turning area.
DO NOT turn at excessive speeds.

Gemstone pen blanks are whole new 'ballgame'. They are hard, dense, heavy and are not for beginners. However, Gemstone is one of the most beautiful materials that you can work with! It takes an incredible shine when finished properly and any pen you make from it will say "Wow!".

These blanks are made from 85% real stone that has been beaten to a pulp, reconstituted with resins and formed into blocks and sheets. These blocks and sheets are then cut into pen blanks and that is where we come in - we supply you with this beautiful material! These blanks are not inexpensive - "You get what you pay for". However, you will be be heard saying "Look at this!" numerous times after making pens from this material.

Sharp high speed steel tools are an absolute must. If you have a metal turning lathe - great - you're ahead of the game. If you are impatient and in a hurry - pass on this material. If you want to make pens that will make people stop dead-in-their-tracks and say "I've got to have that!" then this is the material to use. Gemstone blanks are best used for larger pens that have a lot of surface area to show off but they also look good on pens the size of the Baron and Sedona.

We recommend using our Norseman TM drill bits with this material as you won't have any problems drilling the holes for the brass tubes.

Gemstone pen blanks are available in two sizes: 3/4" x 3/4" x 5 1/2" and 7/8" x 7/8" x 5 1/2". The pictures shown below were taken by us and have not been altered in any way.
