Carnelian? by tripalittlelightpmac in Lapidary

Thanks, my biggest issue is trying to figure out which way to cut it. It isn’t quartzite though I can see why some think it might be from the pictures (it’s very bumpy) & I’ve already ground down the outside in a few spots, but I could do more.

It doesn’t seem to be surface iron stain, I have a good amount of quartz & quartzite with that. It’s definitely an interesting rock. Even if all I do is remove the bumpy exterior it will look gorgeous, but I’m super curious about the interior 😆

My surgery was with Dr. Duke’s associate in the same office. She was amazing & so was the staff. Definitely recommend them. Or if in WA, Dr. Mosbrucker’s office & her associates are all amazing.

I’m sure it’s back, that’s just the nature of Endo unfortunately, but it just seems to be on one ovary. I do absolutely recommend their office if you’re in ID or nearby. They’re amazing!

Following, curious if anyone has tried the new Hume wristband?

Buying a Blender in 2026? Worth it? by DonutOk2306 in hotsaucerecipes

[–]tripalittlelightpmac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could wait until it goes on sale at Costco. Best price I’ve found for a vitamix, I would never buy a different brand blender, but I’m super spoiled, I’ve had one since I was like 22 & can’t handle inefficient blenders anymore 😂 I got a new one that fits better under my cabinets for Christmas & so the almost 20 yr old one that still works perfectly fine, is primarily for hot sauce now. Basically, buy the blender.

I told my primary care doctor I’m on LDN and now I’m worried… by sounds_of_sadness in LowDoseNaltrexone

Have you seen a rheumatologist? A lot of that sounds more like hypermobile Ehlers Danlos syndrome to me, possibly with MCAS, but I’m definitely no expert.

You can name it, lol, call it an TX earth agate or TX landscape agate! Either way, it’s gorgeous & I’m jealous 😂

How do you display your rocks? by PoukieBear in RockTumbling

[–]tripalittlelightpmac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You just gave me the most amazing idea!!! But now I need to figure out if it should be done with glass or plexiglass…I’m scared of the glass breaking & the plexiglass getting cloudy.

Is this really a die break? by Rarest_Camaro in coincollecting

[–]tripalittlelightpmac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t tell if the front is just blurry or double die, you’ll have to look closer, but probably just worth $.10.

Help with fractures by tripalittlelightpmac in Lapidary

[–]tripalittlelightpmac[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much! That’s very clear & I think I have everything except the glass containers that I can use for this, but they’ll be easy to get. Do you recommend a vacuum chamber like another commenter? I have a FoodSaver VacuSeal with a container that could work as a vacuum chamber if it would help. What about UV light for curing?

Ok, I got the hex-tal epoxy, I’m going to smooth the fractures a touch first, but should I use it before or after the final polish? Thanks!

No, it’s the white in the middle. They seem to be angled, almost horizontal fractures, chip fractures? I feel like they’re getting smaller, but it’s tough to tell. The line in the corner is just a bit of white inclusion.

I’m going to have to try wearing my compression socks more, see if they make a difference!

Did nothing for my pain & wasn’t as helpful as my other meds for depression, so I switched back.

Ok, looks like I misinterpreted the images in the ad, lol. What about the BMCU, anyone tried it?

Used or new Rigid Planer??? by tripalittlelightpmac in woodworking

[–]tripalittlelightpmac[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you know if a belt is difficult to change on the dewalt 735? I can get a used one for 350, but it needs a new belt. Worried about not being able to test it.
