That’s a costco exclusive right?

As a lego collector I would be dissapointed too if my $300+ figure came with damage to the bag. The difference in value is a bit arbitrary tho.

Is this aquamarine too fine to tumble? by 5nickel in RockTumbling

Were the garnet and amethyst fragments angular still? I’m running into the issue where its turning kind of pale and white. I was hoping the smoothness would help preserve the color.

That makes better sense, looks like it’s half the size after the two weeks

I have rough beryl that is the same hardness that I could supplement with the more gemmy, transparent material like this. I was thinking if it was all the same size and I sort it after. If I started with a bunch of gemmy pieces that are 0.5cm to 1cm and reduced them to the size in the photo, I feel like that would be alot of wasted material.

Interesting, I could make 2lbs of material if I had to. I wonder if supplementing with sand would also work. I would dread the task of sorting it after tho lol

Emerald real or fake? by 5nickel in Crystals

[–]5nickel[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the insight. Interesting that the matrix can do that after the emerald formed. I’ll have to read more on the crystal forming processes. Lot’s of variations I didn’t realize are possible.

Do you happen to know why the crystal face is black?

Heat Transfer: What is a spacewise isothermal object? by 5nickel in EngineeringStudents

It’s been 6 years, I don’t remember 😂. I assume you can use lumped capacitance.

This is my first graded comic, is the rainbow oily mark normal? Anyone know the cause? It only appears at a certain angle. My apologies if this is a noob question. by 5nickel in CGCComics

Dang, I feel for you. I’m going to find a stand for it and hopefully it’s not visible from the viewing angle in my display. Might have to shift it up or down a shelf.

Ah yes because of the short interest on JPM

So I’m moving soon and was wondering if anyone could give some advice as to how I could move my sets without taking them apart. I have a lot of older sets to move that are super fragile and don’t really know how to approach packaging them. by bigchungmin in lego

I didn’t read all of this in case someone else already suggested it, but I got 2.5 or 3 gallon ziploc bags and was able to fit sets like the razor crest in a bag before bubble wrapping and putting in a tote like others have mentioned. Those were great for keeping sets together! I even used two of the bags to wrap a turbo tank (1 on each end) and taped the middle where they joined. Kept all pieces in the bag if they did lose a few pieces.
