I hope you all had a great holiday. I've been out of the shop for a while, but I have just completed a new piece to kick off the New Year. It is made of piece of Blue Pyrite mixed into a deep red resin. This brush has just been listed on my site at www.eliterazor.com.
Blue Lapis with Pyrite and Red Resin (24mm)
As always, thanks for looking.

There's something about Lapis that just calls to me.
Gorgeous!
Gorgeous!
Not to be an enabler, but Bob also has a handle on the website made completely of Lapis. (REAL Lapis). It is in the stone brushes section.
Thanks! I'm unclear if it is Lapis or Trustone which is crushed ore, pigmented and stabilized in resin rather than Lapis, but it is beautiful.
I'm thinking it over.
It's Trustone. From the description: "This is a handcrafted TruStone handle by Robert Quinn from Blue Lapis."
I can confirm that it looks and feels just like the real thing, though (I don't remember the percentage of raw ore they use but I think it's pretty high).
I have two of Bob’s stone brushes (HMW knots in Jade and Larimar) and they are amazing. I dropped one on my tile floor and amazingly it didn’t get even a scratch.
Definitely my favorite handle out of my smallish rotation.
It is Trustone. Sorry about that.
I have one of Bob's Bloody Basin Jasper handles.... It's among my favorite handles.

Thanks for the kind words.
I did work in natural stone many years ago and found that it was very expensive in the size required for a brush handle and not very durable in a wet shaving environment. When I came across TruStone and compared it against the natural stone, it was difficult to find a difference in the look and feel (heft).
I found the three primary advantages to using TruStone are:
1) The cost is a fraction of natural stone
2) The small fissures and cracks that exist in natural stone are eliminated
3) The resin bonding agent provides and almost "tacky" feel when wet making it much more conducive to use in wet shaving.

I apologize if I made anyone think that Bob was offering something that he was not. I should have researched Trustone before commenting.
