But as a gemstone cutter too, I can tell you that these opaque quartz-covered specimens are really worth keeping and sending/selling to fellow rockhounds that are into lapidary art. <br />Getting beautiful crystals from Mother Nature is great, but turning less pretty or less-than-pretty specimens into something pleasant to the eye is very rewarding too!<br /><br />Ebay is a nice place to "get rid" of those unsightly specimens and make other rockhounds happy with them, particularly those that don't have access to huge pegmatite zones like you do ;)<br /><br />Can't wait for your next post!Thomas Rodriguezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10474453999615111130noreply@blogger.com
