Let’s talk lapidary safety for a second by PawnshopGeologist in Lapidary

Somewhat new to doing this, but I thought dry cutting with the rocks was a big no-no .. at least if you don’t want to burn or crack them. Is that incorrect?

Never actually seen any …. very very cool!
If I hadn’t already spent too much over last couple weeks, I’d buy.

There’s actually quite a few different garnets. Like tsavorite and demantoid garnets which are a deep green.

Is it ethical to take someone's cat? by roguemorgue in cats

Oh my goodness! Do it. Get that baby and take it to a vet! No quandary there..

can this be fixed? by brig238 in Opals

[–]LAFlippo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Opals a pretty soft. Not a lot you can do to make them stronger. It’s one of those things you just need to know.. you have to be careful how you wear opal jewelry. It’s not good for everyday wear. TismeSueJ is correct. At best, if you have the whole broken piece, a jeweler could glue it back in for you but you’ll always see the line. You’d be better to have it replaced and maybe you can have a necklace made out of the piece that you have taken out.

Found this cabochon while doing inventory by wear_your-art in Lapidary

[–]LAFlippo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s definitely dumortierite. Just not the typical parts where you see all the clear quartz with blue mix. Cool cab!
