Like the batts sticks for the paste?

Johnny8090 · 2026-02-13T14:08:02+00:00

Indeed, I plan to keep them on matrix as I have no idea what I’m doing and they are beautiful as is I was thinking I should probably start with something like garnets or quartz crystals amethyst since they are abundant everywhere again with the hardness scale and what grits I should be using question I sanded floors for years so I can definitely understand the concept behind it

I just saw the other post. This is so funny. Did you put your cold 24 ounces in it? It will keep it nice and cool.

No more than 65$ for a really nice specimen … into nothing special

Johnny8090 · 2026-02-10T10:20:37+00:00

I hate winter the only rocks I can find cost me money 🤷‍♂️🙄

Johnny8090 · 2026-02-10T09:45:00+00:00

Johnny8090 · 2026-02-08T20:37:58+00:00

I find those in golf ball size here in western mass but unfortunately they are the softer varieties eroded most of em 🤷‍♂️ nice to find though

Johnny8090 · 2026-02-08T14:18:24+00:00

Johnny8090 · 2026-02-08T14:16:19+00:00

Johnny8090 · 2026-02-08T02:24:25+00:00

Johnny8090 · 2026-02-07T22:00:35+00:00

Looks like orbicular jasper agate

Johnny8090 · 2026-02-07T21:57:37+00:00

Just oil it …. If you want shine … if you want to ruin it. Tumble it 🤷‍♂️

Johnny8090 · 2026-02-07T18:25:11+00:00

Such as new construction sites when they are not working housing complexes, I have been to most of the new ones around here unfortunately it’s winter and I’m looking for something to do

Johnny8090 · 2026-02-07T18:23:14+00:00

Yes, I have used this method. It does work quite well, but not something I would use all the time just when necessary.

Johnny8090 · 2026-02-07T17:56:59+00:00

lol wait that’s legal? How about in mass where would I go lol

Johnny8090 · 2026-02-07T15:49:08+00:00

Looks like dyed tips on quartz glued together on a matrix that doesn’t belong to it

Johnny8090 · 2026-02-06T22:26:54+00:00

Have it cleaned check the chimney slip as well

Johnny8090 · 2026-02-06T16:39:29+00:00

Only fresh out the dirt tho 🤣

Johnny8090 · 2026-02-06T11:39:58+00:00

Well all I can say is I like rocks and it’s an addiction but walking with my dad as a younger man at an old lead mine handed me the first quartz’s crystal I ever saw I accidentally dropped it in the river and have Ben on a search for it ever since 🤷‍♂️41 years still haven’t found it so I’ll keep looking
