My bucket has been filled list thoughts
I did change the title a little. She had thought to change it to Sand Castles list which may have been more apt as the "was" is no more. It seems downright healthy to focus on where we have been to get to where we are and re polish all the gems there, and shine the tarnish between them ove...

Lab opal can be as regular as enamel. You can get that in every shade of the rainbow also. Red, yellow, purple pink, black, white and every shade in between. It makes the picture stones of natural opals worth more to stand out.

Re: ROCKS AND SOIL ELECTRIFIED BY THE SUPERSTORM
As time goes on there are more and more people doing research in the direction of science, not just what the agenda is paying for results from. It seems society examines the crimes of politics about 40 years after the culprits have passed. Or keep the records sealed as the cases may be. 70% of the E...

Re: Turning a fossil into the best crystal opal I have ever cut
It is kind of a rule that Crystal Opal rough produces two sided stones as it is that most black opal has a potch side. Most do not face out all directions but have a color bar as in semi crystal whites. I used to cringe when people said "Oh Boy! A gem pine cone = cutting rough." Later I re...

Re: A Tale of Two Retailers at JCK Las Vegas
The captive market has always been a dream. As good as no competition. Teddy Ridge Sunstone Mine did a few cruises selling sunstone jewellery some years back. We were never that big to have an inventory to move.
