  Some new additions last week. Small but nice Australian chrysoprase from an old collection I haven't been very active on here for a while, but I keep checking in on what is happening on the other side of the world I haven't been cabbing much, a couple of pieces of opals only, just started getting back into faceting, but I have setup an etsy store - well I set it up a couple of years ago, but only started selling in the last 6 months Grantslapidarystudio trying to provide reasonable material at a reasonable price (in most cases) mostly Australian |

Nice to see you around again!
I, too, haven't cut a stone in ages. Getting the itch.
Beautiful chrysoprase, thanks for sharing the pics!

I will in due time, I haven't sorted and priced alot at the moment, except some for a local rock show coming up. I have about 4lbs to go through on top of what I have already picked to keep. I haven't yet sorted out etsy for discounts on multiple purchases for international shipping. But if anyone on here would like some or make up a pack from what I have on esty let me know and we'll see what I can do I'm glad last year is over, it started out bad. Docs found a lump on my lung. Being a cancer survivor it felt like ....well I was crushed. Tooks forever to see the docs because it was assumed to be covid and couldn't see them until my PCR results came back, that took 7 days. But all good turned out to be an abscess which by the time they did the biopsy they had trouble finding. Then later in the year kidney stones, one bout left me lying in the paddock in the rain in winter. Such is life. There is more rocks to find and I'm not old enough to stop looking |
