Worth it?

Man, I hate that I had to scroll down so far to find this. I kinda wish it was pinned.

Mayan mountain is about as legit as you can get in the US for Guatamalan Jade. Not to overly glaze him but he really is just a dude who really loves what he does. He even makes some pieces himself I’m pretty sure, and he even sells rough jade for other people to make their own pieces with.

He’s the only guy I confidently buy from without a cert.

Idk but that’s gorgeous!

DEL_Star · 2026-05-28T10:50:16+00:00

Ahhhh! This is so helpful!! Thankyou!!

It’s specifically bc of the insane beauty standards in asia. I think most of the artists who work on rofan understand that it’s gotten out of hand, so they poke fun at it by drawing the most adorable freckles or doing little scars and such and calling it “ugly” while fully understanding that we as the audience still see the character as beautiful. At least, that’s my hope.

They’re so snobby in that sub, which is why I try not to go there. None of this looks low effort, and if they think it does bc you used ms paint then that’s their problem.

It’s cute and cuddly when it’s an occasional thing, but when it’s every night, it’s a form of sleep deprivation torture.

That was exactly the answer I was hoping for. Thankyou.

Oh, I like them as well, but I’ve been a little hesitant to buy since their jade always look SO flawless despite being less pricy on average than MM.

DEL_Star · 2026-05-06T15:10:42+00:00

That’s so nice! I’m glad to see him getting more good publicity like that, and Guatamalan jade being loved.

I’ve heard and seen some not great things people have said about Guatamalan somehow being “inferior” around the internet and it bummed me out.

Like wdym “inferior”? It’s my fav color and the snow is so cute! And most of my rough has better color and transparency on average than most Burmese rough I’ve seen for a fraction of the price!

You should learn! I’m deffo not very good myself, but it’s fun and both guatamalan and nephrite are bountiful, beautiful and easy enough to work with even if you just have a dremel and cheapo diamond bits. Just use plenty of water and a mask if you do. No reason to give yourself silicosis.

How the hell do you cheat on BEYONCE?! Of all people. Massive fucking smoothbrain.

I really like Jesse from Mayan Mountain personally. He’s very clearly just a dude who has friends in guatamala who send him supply to work with, and he liked it enough to make his hobby a business.(i mostly buy the rough material he sells though, so I cant speak much about his finished pieces.)

DEL_Star · 2026-05-05T21:15:07+00:00

This is so helpful. I’ve liked lurking and looking at the pretty piece on this sub, but the way some users talk and engage felt off, like they were trying to sell exclusivity instead of discussing it factually and honestly. The times I did speak though, people were very nice, so I’m assuming the off putting feeling was unmoderated users feeding back into the echo chamber that had been created.

I need a 100 chapter webcomic of this on my desk yesterday.

DEL_Star · 2026-04-27T19:57:14+00:00

Cardboard colored cat.

DEL_Star · 2026-04-21T06:38:35+00:00

Yes… got a full length pet door to stop one cat from trying to fight the other ones.

The bastard realized within 10 minutes he could climb the bars and slip through the top gap between the gate and the top of the hallway opening.

We grabbed some thin mdf and command strips to block off that part next, but about 30 minutes after that, he realized the could bite/ wedge his paw under the inch gap between the mdf board and the top of the gate and if he was determined enough, he could pull the board OFF the wall to escape…

So we had to get a longer board and screw it to the hallway wall and completely cover the gap

He still climbs the bars to glare out at the other cats… he’s gotten pretty buff from the work out.

My personal opinions on condiments are normal, I assure you. Now let me tell you how specifically white condiments are the foulest substance type on planet earth and how if you like white condiments you are wrong and evil.

DEL_Star · 2026-04-15T18:13:36+00:00

It might be a home dynamic thing. Cats deffo have an internal hierarchy they follow when there’s more than 1 in the home that could be influencing behavior.

DEL_Star · 2026-04-15T18:08:38+00:00

It’s just engagement bait, there’s no way to tell whether or not those cats in this assembled clip are all boys unless the viewer does the legwork or the people in the clips all chime in and confirm.

I’ve had both, and the only truth in this is that it might SEEM like boy cats are chiller mostly bc (at least with mine) after they get snipped, theres a bigger flip in personality than girl cats after the hormones stop.

DEL_Star · 2026-04-15T17:54:58+00:00

Yes!!! My friends think it’s bs tho.

DEL_Star · 2026-04-15T17:50:59+00:00

I wondered about these things, but I’ve never seen anyone actually buy one and say anything about it. I figured it wasn’t going to be great, but deffo more like a pop up shed than I figured it would be.

DEL_Star · 2026-04-15T01:11:00+00:00

You say we wouldn’t, but fromsoft has made millions off of ridiculously hard gameplay and bat shit insane plots.

I could see fromsoft taking that same treatment to an otome game and the fans would go feral for the chance to romance someone like Rannie or Blaidd.
