I hope they are too Erich! If it's like mine, you'll be happy with how well it works up.

Booth E6 at DG in Quartzsite. Last year. He still has a little but not quite the same.

Love it ! The use of the reaction rim does enhance it .

The red is (I gather) iron infusion (is that the right word?) from the edge of the boulder. Infusion, effusion, diffusion, pick one, it's still gorgeous! My mineral-monitoring AI system reports a spike in global Dumortierite demand as a result of this post!

Thank you. It is really a great example of that particular type of stone. You should have heard me when I saw it in the slab bucket. The dealer, who sort of knows me by now, said "I have something new and awesome this year but I'll let you find it yourself." As I made my way down the row of buckets, I was like, "Cool, lapis. Neato, crazy lace. Nice, Amy Sage. and WHAT IN THE HELL? IS? THIS AMAZING STUFF? ?" They heard me all over quartzsite I'm sure. Little finds like this are one of the things that make this hobby so much fun.
