Included metals - coverage of copper, brass, gold, and sterling silver as well as the sizes we use for production. Most of our supply of minerals including the California red and white quartz, mahogany and rainbow obsidian and others come from a sister collection and distribution company in norther California and are available for purchase in small quantities from a third party vendor by inquiry.
