I cant possibly add this hobby as well to pair with my metalsmithing hobby...unless... 👀

I'm going the other way where if I don't learn at least a bit of metalsmithing I'm going to wind up with a pile of unused rocks in a drawer

One long man-made crystal … NICE color and no flaws!

Very interesting. We will be heading out shortly to the gem show in Quartzsite, Arizona. I know nothing of gems and cutting them, but am always fascinated by what's on offer. Good luck with your hobby!

I've never been to a gem show! It's on a long list of things to do someday

OMG! This is one of the biggest. It's not why we go, but we do take a look around.

Definitely gonna plot a trip to the southwest where a lot of the big shows seem to be, like Tuscon, and make a thing of it. One dayyyy. Traveling with kids is exhausting
