Sorry, what do you mean by "metal"?

[It would be unlikely that you'd be able to find anything premade on any
website that will hold your irregular lump of glass and attach it to a
walking stick. You'll need to cast or fabricate something, and metal is what
you'd normally use to do that with. It can be bronze, copper, gold, silver,
steel, whatever, but it has to be custom-fitted in order to work. Claws,
prongs, bezels, or screwed-on retaining elements can be used - whatever
works...]

Hi there!

A friend recently gave me something that looks like a lump of glass but
could be possibly used as a head to a walking stick or walking cane.
Now, I'm a bit at a lost as to what to do next and was wondering if
anybody could offer suggestions for a web site, store, or whatever that
would attach my lump to the top of a walking stick.

Thanks for the help!
Eddy
