heyyyy, gem thread. Have some not-so great images of a ring I just made from a fire opal I cut. I'm more used to working with tough stuff like quartz, so managed to chip it slightly while setting it. Can't really tell overall, though, and i'm pretty happy with it. I think I may have posted these before, I thought they were ruby in zoisite. Got to try out a nice UV flashlight at my club's last gem show, seemed to confirm the ruby part (see potato quality image)

Scarodactyl posted:Nice stones! Chipping an opal at some point is inevitable. Yeah, that would be cool. Next meeting or whenever you can bring it. I've also got some (I think) opaque epidote I found in the mountains. Be interesting to see if I have anything in my found-rather-than-bought collection that isn't quartz quartz and more quartz.
