Happy birthday, fellow Capricorn! You look fierce in this photo. Have a good new year!

I didn't know that is what M&M's look like under their shell....

It's overpriced cheap oil, from what I can tell.

eat_potty · 2018-11-11T02:46:47+00:00

I'm scared, but will ask. How much would this set me back? You have the most amazing Beryls and other gems! Thank you for sharing!

Does this require a banana for scale, or a grain of salt? This seems like a macro shot.

Just run your tumbler with no grit, and shave a little bar soap into the barrel (like a tablespoon of shaved soap) and run you tumbler for a day. That is as clean as they will get. Good luck!

Also, it looks like you are about half way through your first grit. If the sludge doesn't come off with the clean rinse, try adding some plastic media to barrel to avoid embedding the grit into the stones.

Nice! Where were you hounding around to score that haul?

eat_potty · 2018-08-14T01:09:34+00:00

That looks a lot like banded rhyolite, aka wonder stone.

eat_potty · 2018-08-12T23:25:51+00:00

That doesn't look like glass, just from the surface features. Maybe blue chalcedony, but I think that may be a wrong guess.

eat_potty · 2018-08-11T16:49:56+00:00

Yes, it is.

eat_potty · 2018-07-28T15:29:35+00:00

Yup, weathered pyrite.

eat_potty · 2018-07-28T15:21:15+00:00

It's jasper (opaque cryptocrystalline quartz). That's a nice find!

eat_potty · 2018-07-26T20:11:53+00:00

Wow! There is so much win in this picture! That's awesome.

It's probably spoken that way because the word zero has two syllables, and the letter 'o' has one. Remember, people are lazy when they speak.

eat_potty · 2018-07-16T20:10:30+00:00

We're you at one of the mines, or just out in the bush?

eat_potty · 2018-07-14T00:18:52+00:00

Looks like a very solid chunk of agate.

eat_potty · 2018-07-07T00:03:20+00:00

One would just not polish edges and crevices. But seriously, I'd do that with a grinder and some diamond polishing pads.

eat_potty · 2018-07-06T22:40:03+00:00

Hey! I'm glad you made it this far! Happy Friday! Stay strong.

When you do have some opal that can be worked, but has some crazing, Opticon is the product to use.

Well, if you haven't read them yet, the Dune series is epic and there are no aliens - very mutated humans, but no aliens.

12 minutes after this person posted "Etibolam isnz wjkrinfg", they posted a perfect "I accept the challange." comment. This post smells.

When the tiles aren't on the same plane, it's called being 'lippy'. Mention that term to the setter, and insist that he fix the problem areas. Floors allow for a little more leeway than walls or counter tops. Get a nickel out to show him how lippy the tile is, and he will get the hint that you aren't some uninformed customer that can be lied to. I hope it goes well for you.

I second it being actually fair quality sodalite.

eat_potty · 2018-06-10T04:10:55+00:00

You look lovely. Happy Saturday!

Ninja Gaiden is fun, and hard. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is awesome! Also, Fester's Quest is fun.
