What type of material? Glass, wood, cork, etc? Something you could attach a cab or tumbled rock to?

Something to attach a cab too yes. I've only seen the silver metal rounded triangular ones with the black rubber stopper.

If you are game for cork, I can get some from work. We have many sizes available and various qualities.
Otherwise there are many sources for glass stoppers. Just do a search. You might need to grind down the glass a little to fit the intended size bottle.

The ones I normally do are the flat backed stoppers. I only use solid stainless steel. Cheaper plated ones will flake off into the wine if used long term. Glass supply companies are where I get my blanks. This brings back some memories. Still the largest single lapidary order I have done to date. Chuck

Beautiful work. Exactly what I'm looking for. I will look for some glass supply places. Thank you for sharing.
