Russ - or anyone who might know -

Can anyone tell me where I can get large pendant size free-form pyrite nuggets for wire wrapping like the one in this picture?  I made this pendant necklace and showed it around work, and now 3 people want it!  And I only have one pendant!  
Help, I need more free-form pyrite nuggets.  I got this one at the Grand Canyon gift shop, but seeing as that's a 4 hour drive, it's a little too far!  I checked Ebay  and FMG, no luck there.  R&T has a listing for Pyrite donuts but, of course, out of stock!   HELP !

Any rock shops or lapidary shops near you, Angela?
They might have some chunks suitable for your pendants. It's not terribly expensive in that form.

A google search for pyrite specimens will find nice crystalline shapes but may be too fancy (and pricey!) for your  purpose but the same dealers may have more free forms shapes, too. Google search for pyrite rough comes up with other possible sources.

Hope that helps a little...
