To help your nova points last much longer, you can either have a constant water drip onto them or apply Vaseline to the bits and or the gem that you are working with.
I didn't say it in this particular video, but I always always dip in water constantly. To help my nova points last longer, yes, but also to help keep the toxic dust from getting into the air and me breathing it in when I eventually take off my dust mask, since I do it all in my home that doesn't have opening windows or ventilation. Thanks for watching and commenting, I hope you enjoyed the video!
I recently took a trip to the Oregon coast with my work. We went on a hike through Ecola State Park. When we got down to the beach, I noticed a large piece of sandstone that was eroding away, with veins of what I assume is quartz running through it. I got a small piece that had fallen off. I'm curious about it. It looks like the same type of deposit as opal in Australia, but looks like quartz.
Thank you for watching and commenting! That's really interesting, definitely let me know if you bring those pices to a geologist what they are, I've not heard of something like that.
Thanks for watching and commenting! If I wasn't so experienced and didn't have such thick finger calluses I definitely would've ground down my fingertips lol.
I have some black meteor shower sunstones, some are even orange and some are deep dark blood red. They look amazing. I plan on pairing the best and most scenic ones with some tektites like Desert Glass to show the polarity of life does in fact include melding the cosmos with gemstones.
I've also got some meteor shower sunstones I plan on shaping on the channel soon. The ones that have the multi color effect and the purple ones are so beautiful, I of course love the gold ones too, I didn't know about that type of sunstone until recently and i find them to be incredibly mesmerizing. Thank you for watching and commenting!
@carlynscolorfulcreations yeah, they are a little bit cooler than Rainbow Lattice if you ask me. I like the black and deep dark red ones that have rainbow streaks in them the most. I've noticed that some have very large iron oxide inclusions and some are so tiny and thin that it just looks shiny until you look up close.
@@Nervii_Champion yeah, I got some rainbow lattice sunstone in the same parcle and the o es I git just aren't nearly as bright as the meteor shower ones. I really like rainbow lattice when they are good ones, think I only got 1 or 2 of those.
@carlynscolorfulcreations it's also hard to find them without cracks and natural healed cracks in them, and if they are perfect and you pay the money for the perfection, the shipper doesn't put enough protection in the packaging and they show up to your house with cracks in them anyways because the packages get tossed around. I was getting decent stones from this one lady but she didn't package them the way I asked, so I stopped buying stones online period. It sucks but nothing you can really do except drive to the source, which costs probably more money depending how far away it is.
@@Nervii_Champion yeah, the parcle I got, which was 1000cts, the stones were just thrown in a zip lock bag and put in a package with no wrapping or anything. The stones were riddled with cracks and I could tell some of the peices had broken into peices. It is unfortunate that they did that so I didn't share the sellers name on my channel because of that. But I feel like they were a reasonable price for the weight.
So, after finally completing 218's upload, it plays perfectly. I had to delete part of the narrative soundtrack because, after exporting to video, it was horribly flawed. It kept breaking up, chopping, like a stutter effect. I couldn't fix it, so i just decided to eliminate that part of me talking. That is okay, the video isn't worse for it. Now...do i schedule it for before, or after, your premiere?
I'm sorry that hapoend, I've definitely had audio problems I've had to delete before too, I'm sure it'll still be a fantastic video. You can post your video whenever you want, but I might be able to catch the premiere if you poet it sometime vaguely after. I'll look forward to it either way.
Thanks for watching and commenting! This parcle was sold as Oregon sunstone, but the parcle was shipped from Germany, and I bought it on ebay, so I'm not ruling out that it's Indian sunstone, but I want to think it's Oregon sunstone.
Congratulations don! You won the cabochon It was exactly 4.65cts! If you email me at toddhouse298@gmail.com where to ship this I'll send it to you as soon as possible.
There may be harder ways to make a cab, but I doubt it. Your patience is admirable.
