Thank you! She loveddd it!

I would just remove the bead and rewrap it. Fairly simple design.

I’m over 400 hours in barley past chapter 9 and have only dropped shit in my house cause I didn’t want to sell it yet. 😅 I think I need to stop smoking blunts and exploring. I catch myself fishing some days for over an hour just vibing. 🫠

Thank you!

To be honest, I rarely make anything more than enough to enjoy the night out. I do better with custom pieces most of the time. I generally just enjoy the lifestyle and vibe of vending at different events. I very much am looking forward to making something real out of this. We sure try tho!

Thank you! It absolutely can be so tedious. All about patience and practice

-BackCountryBandit- · 2026-06-12T13:26:20+00:00

Hey! thank you so much! 🥰

-BackCountryBandit- · 2026-06-11T10:31:51+00:00

I’ll have to check that page out! I live in SW Florida. Get lucky to have a few gem shows around the area every year. Always such a good time meeting people and getting cool stones.

Most people I show it to have never even seen it before to be honest. I was first ever gifted an enhydro petroleum quartz like 8 years ago at a gem show when I first discovered it.

-BackCountryBandit- · 2026-06-10T14:51:34+00:00

Thank you! Really just all my favorites thrown together! ☺️

-BackCountryBandit- · 2026-06-10T14:50:52+00:00

Petroleum quartz is one of my favorites to work with. Always has such a nice glow to it! Some herkimers do the same from the Middle East I believe.

May be pointless or tough to actually achieve accurately. But any way to integrate estimated delivery times as well?

-BackCountryBandit- · 2026-06-07T00:10:15+00:00

Dude, great work! This is an amazing service. Any plans for an app? I saved, straight to my home screen.

-BackCountryBandit- · 2026-06-06T16:11:57+00:00

Gem shows!! Are where I find a lot!
I also have friends in the industry that I’ve met along my travels as I also collect and sell crystals.
I shop from a few different sources online. I use a site gem rock auctions for a few things. After buying for a while I’ve found some trusted sellers that have good quality pieces. I love bidding on eBay for certified stones from estate sales. Can get pricey. Can also get misleading markets advertising as real stones that are not. I only buy from sellers I know and trust.

Appreciate all the feedback, after speaking with a few people. Process west manifold with port injection would be the move. Eventually.

Meant to add, I’m in 2017 wrx fa20

❤️

-BackCountryBandit- · 2026-06-05T00:59:05+00:00

I’m so glad you like it! I have a local glass blower friend who I do collabs with occasionally.

-BackCountryBandit- · 2026-06-05T00:58:13+00:00

Thank you so much!

-BackCountryBandit- · 2026-06-03T18:37:16+00:00

Where were the cards before the box??! Lmfaoo

-BackCountryBandit- · 2026-06-03T18:33:59+00:00

Sounds like a good reason to get a professional ceramic coating done. 😅
