Default display bases

Anyone know where i might buy bases for marbles? 1" to 3" range. Clear plastic, wood, metal, glass, etc

Also quality bead displays and so forth.

I did a search but we have a LOT of threads with the word marble in it...

Thanks.

I know this came up a few days ago in the bathroom, you may want to cross post there.
or the marbles portion, where everyone shows off their work.

I used to use a dapping punch to make marble holders.

The 25mm from this set: http://www.harborfreight.com/25-piec...set-93539.html

You can buy the punches individually from jeweler suppliers, but the HF set was cheap.
