Thats all for now. This is gonna make me start cutting again. You can get lost in lapidary. Hours go by and you never know it.:bong:
 
You know what? They would look nice in hemp. I think i'll cut one for him and send it. That's a great idea. I have enough where I could send him one for free, I hardly cab anymore, and I have a $600 lapidary machine. Sad eh?

:bongrip:

Man, here is a story for you. In the third photo from the top, top row, middle compartment you will see a stone that kinda glows purple. If you notice, there is a line that goes through it.

Well, I was cutting it one day, and had been working on other stones all day, and didn't notice that the cutting wheel had rubbed through my thumb (As happens a lot) and I was bleeding.

The blood had seeped into the stone, and I cant get it out. It is still there, plain as day, and it's been like 3 or 4 years. So my blood is forever inside that opal.

I thought that was kinda cool.
 
Yep, I can. How big is it? I may not have the part to set it, but I make them as well.

We will figure out a way to do this, and I will find a good piece that can be drilled or shaped for a hemp wrap around, and send it too ya. We can use prv msg and a P.O. if you want, or il'll call you and we can exchange adresses over the phone.

This will be very cool.


:cool:
 
Man, if it could be done, it wouldn't be cheap if it was a whole piece. Now useing many small pieces glued to a backing wouldn't be at all. It's been so long since I did this I can't even remember what it's called, but it has a name :) I did a whole shell, but a leaf is tuff due to the natural structure of the stone. It would crack soooo easy.
 
Since your growin, you don't always need pretty lil stones to make a pretty looking object. You can use hash instead, it even forms easily by hand.

Here's a example, kinda looks like a cool marble and it would be easy to make it look like a leaf.
 
I thought you would like that. Many people are attracted to shiny lil objects myself included. There are some rocks out there that will literally take your breath away so I think your hobby is really cool. Anyway you can use that machine to make really cool looking molds to press and/or form hash? Or is more like a buffer/grinder/polisher thingy? I have no ideal what it is or looks like.
 
I would take a pic, but... lol

it's like a grinder, you can do a search for lapidary and see one. Mine has 6 wheels with abuffer on the end. chances are it would just gum up the wheel :) :bong:

Man I looked up emery's shop, Vancouver is on the other side of the country... bluuugh
