Welcome back to FACET FRIDAY. This week we are premiering the work of a new, but talented "cutter", Nate Roberson. He worked on these 24 stones over the last couple of months and is finally ready to show them off. Yes, some have inclusions - I sent a few choice stones (which obviously stand out), and some stuff to practice on. HE CUT IT ALL!!! WOW!

Mineral Monday

I guess I can call this "rare" because if you google 'Amethyst and Malachite' combos, I am the only place that comes up - in the WORLD!

Got up early to catch-up on some work. At 5:30am I walked straight out into rain, thunder, and lightening. I guess I am not working outside. So here is a really cool piece of Malachite and Azurite with Hematite - shown wet 'cuz it's raining...

Let's have some fun. Who can name what crystal this is from my mine. Only 4 have been found so far...

(Hint: the growth stridations or "etches" give it away here in Colorado)

Before it was a Amethyst mine, the Humming Bird Mine was an abandoned copper mine from the late 1890s.

Here is a "copper-based" specimen of bladed Chalcopyrite, Hematite, Malachite, and very gemmy green Fluorite. There are a BUNCH of photos of this crazy-cool specimen...

NOT my video, but WOW!

I am not brave enough to climb "Ancient Art" at Fisher Towers, near Moab, Utah. I drive by it monthly. But if you ever WANTED to, here is what you will be getting into...

This may not seem much to some folks, but for me (and the buyer) it is a BIG deal.

My first GIA stone!
