Those are similar to the Graves machine.

I did the same. Whenever an episode airs, it gets recorded.

Hey, who will be there on the 16th? That is the day I am going. I know it is early but it just worked that way. Would like to meet more RTH'S.

Nice job Gemfeller. Where did your settings come from? Those tearshapes are hard to cut. Did you do the faceting?

Not fair! I will be there on the 16th. Just my luck to miss a party.

I too, wonder about the prices that the expert? gives. But it is not only him, the miners are always throwing big numbers out every time they pull a specimen out the ground. Maybe the producers are telling them to do so. The higher the value of the product equates to the higher value of the show. And you know it is staged when they show them tring to get in a tight spot for the first time and there is a camera, already there, looking back at them. But with that said, a couple years ago we had no rockhounding shows on TV at all. I am glad to have something to watch even if it is not produced to my expectations.

I enjoy the show, Prospectors. But it seems every time I tune in to watch it, they are not showing it. Darn Weather people! Maybe they should move it to another time slot. At least we can record it. I heard several other networks wants it but The Weather Channel will not give it up. Oh well, there is always Gem Hunter on The Travel Channel.

If one is having trouble finding the acid, they can use Super Iron Out from Walmart. It is not as quick but will get the iron stains out.

Scott, the purpose of treating is to enhance color and clarity. Is any of yours able to be faceted as is? Non heated treated sapphires are sometimes more valuable.

I would gladly do the stones for her. You get the settings. Wait till I cut them, then we will size them.

Fossilman, don't underestimate the value of a small stone. If they are clear with no inclusions, they can be cut into very nice show pieces. I have cut some really small sapphires that had great sparkle.
