or what happens if they cranks up the X-Ray machine  Good Afternoon everyone  Big game day today so I’m only doing some light polishing This heart was part of yesterday rework  I just snapped the picture and its such a bright, warm sun shiny day I got serious overexposure effects from the black rock back-ground Move the rock a few degrees and I got a more précis picture  It could be a January/March birthstone heart. That one side as garnet in and the other side resembles bloodstone,. well thanks for looking Go Cards! Ed |

Thanks Chuck!!! yep it comes close to bloodstone and I'm not sure that garnet it may be some type of corundum in Fuchsite? so it may not be birthstone heart at all just a fancy serpentine  |

ruby in fuschite. I have a love hate relationship with cabbing that stuff. Hard and soft mixed together.

yep-- do you think that what it is?
the fuschite matrix seem more stable/fibery --like serpentine
then the zoesite --which is more of a looser crystalline matrix
which makes the fuschite a bit easier for grinding
the harder part of the corundum
I think

I was mentioning earlier how the previous heart could possibly be birthstone combo. Garnet for January and the fancy jasper which resembles bloodstone This bloodstone/rubyzo combo heart is the birthstones for March- July  mohs |

I like this heart! Something about it. It rocks. Know I’ve posted it before. so sorry   I made it a long time ago. Over the years I’ve tried to bring out the best shine. It’s a rock I found. Not sure what type of mineral make up it may be? The black spots might be manganese? It softer than the pink. That may be what holds it back from a super shine. But I’ve only worked it up to 3000 grit and ZAM polishing. Yet- I like it ! |
