Nice rocks, and LOL at "spinel tap!"

Are these spinel roughs? They appear like raisins...sweet colors..

 

[Lady_Disdain]

Sweet! The pink halo looks great.

I must admit I am waiting for a parcel of spinel rough as well, for cabbing.

 

[Arcadian]

Oh KEWL!!! CANDY

So whatcha gonna do with them?

I definitely see these as wonderful cabbing material.

 

[VapidLapid]

yes, little cabs for sides, small sugaryloaves. I was only looking for enough to surround the large blue one, but these were sold as a lot, and not expensive, so I just took the bunch.

 

[Lady_Disdain]

If you don''t want the rest of that lot, I am interested. I am sending my bunch out to be cabbed and I could always do with a few more.

 

[Burberrygirl]

VL, very cool! I can't wait to see how your project turns out, it sounds neat.

 

[Lady_Disdain]

Perfect! I was wondering if it was from mine direct - I was eyeing that lot for quite a while before it was sold (I ended up buying a different lot

).

I definetly want them - what would be the best way for me to contact you? Do you think the mods will give you my email if I ask them to?

Correct! However, the remaining lots are a mixture of facet grade and silky cabbing material.

I also got a 9 sided amethyst point which makes me think that somewhere in the chain someone cut pointed terminations on plain rough or at least touched them up a bit, and was a little sloppy on one face.

 

[Barrett]

9 sided..lol..thats a dead giveaway

 

[VapidLapid]

then I guess I wont send that email to the Smithsonian.

 

[Barrett]

could be a funny shaped z face making it look like an r face

 

[VapidLapid]

4 faces on one plane about 1* off from each other?

 

[VapidLapid]

Amethystguy can you suggest anyplace for amethyst rough? I had a few nice pieces from jeff graham but ever since I''ve been a little disappointed.These 2 yesterday are not only 9 sided but AAA with large and deep feathers and veils?
