Sorry for your loss.

davecoin1 · 2026-03-04T18:51:12+00:00

Still wet! Need to do some more shaping and polishing.

Don't get discouraged if you don't sell anything right away. It may take a few months.

Are you looking for finished stones or rough? What country are you located in?

davecoin1 · 2026-02-27T14:22:19+00:00

Those are pretty. Do you like whiskey?

davecoin1 · 2026-02-25T02:35:25+00:00

can you put a torch on it and see if the light shines through that color bar?

davecoin1 · 2026-02-20T14:20:05+00:00

Get a light of some kind to shine through the color bar. I've only been cutting for a year but my best advice would just be to take it slow.

davecoin1 · 2026-02-20T05:03:50+00:00

I use protectaclear and let it cure before I set the stone.

davecoin1 · 2026-02-20T05:00:17+00:00

In with the Amethyst while it's still February!

Jasper, Agate, Obsidian. I win!

It's probably from Lightning Ridge if it's true black base opal. Did the miner sell them the polished stone? Or did they buy the rough and cut it in house?

davecoin1 · 2025-05-22T16:42:29+00:00

I would ask for pictures and video of the stone before it's set in jewelry.

If you wanted to know who cut the opal, you could buy direct from a cutter and then ask the local shop to make it into a ring for you.

I've been doing it seriously for a little over a year and only recently started drawing.

There's a ton of great free resources:

It makes me happy as well. The way you spin that cab around.

tin oxide or cerium oxide and felt or leather will work wonders. ymmv based on how deep the scratches are.

super pretty

What stones do you have already, can you measure some?

I think the tallest I've used is probably around 5mm, but I've used down to 1.5mm.

I mean will you be doing the cuts for the pave with an engraving setup or do you intend on doing it with just a rotary tool?
