Thank you for watching! I really had a short time between when it finished uploading and when it premiered so never feel bad about not making it to the lives. Glad you liked the final stones aswell!
I'm glad you liked the stones! I really honestly have a hard time deciding between the two because I'm a sucker for a dark body tone and the copper with the blue is really nice. Thank you for commenting, I always appreciate your support aswell and always really enjoy your videos, you do some fantastic work!
Love it! You inspire me to try making cabs with my freedom, I got a really cool small colorful flint last time I went rockhounding and I’m going to try shaping it into a cab today! I really enjoy your videos, keep em coming! The sunstones turned out great, I even love the little guys with the fractures. Thanks again, and btw love your hair!❤-Muh
I'm glad you enjoyed the results! I hope you have good luck with your cabbing, dremel cabbing can be really rewarding when you get a good result. I like to rockhound in my local area aswell, I need to get around to shapeing some of those stones lol. Let me know how it goes with your flint and I'm always here if you have any questions.
Thank you foe commenting! I'm glad you liked #2 , it's a good one, and I have a couple others with similar flash so I'm sure I'll get a winner that looks like those sometime soonish.
Great video again! Bummer about the cracks in the ovals but base colour is really pretty. But the absolute winner was the golden looking cushion cut rainbow meteor stone with that great polish, just beautiful 💖
Thank you for commenting! I'm glad you enjoyed #3 as much as I do, UT really is a awesome piece. As far as #2 goes, it's all good because I was able to get those two winners so it makes up for it. I also really appreciate all your support of my small channel!
@@carlynscolorfulcreations you're welcome and you're channel is great and getting bigger all the time! I'm happy to help if I can, even though you don't need it☺️.
Thanks for taking a look at my shop, I've got lots of other stuff I keep meaning to get around to listing. It really means alot just for you to look at what I have.
@@carlynscolorfulcreations so many nice things i am having hard time deciding buy eying out the rough sunstones :) will purchase once i get my option anxiety under control
Well no pressure, and I'll make sure to throw in something special for you if you do order. Just let me know it's you when and if you do so I know and add some free gifts.
I have some of similar quality, but the streaks of iron oxide are thicker and they start off gold at the top and then as you look further down the streaks they turn purple, blue, and green. They have some cracks and natural cracks though so I'll be freeforming them with the exception of my best ones I have usable material for flawless stones in.
That sounds cool, I actually have a piece of meteor shower sunstone that's very similar to what you described, but it's pretty clean. Found it just yesterday when packing up my gems. I feel like cracks are just something I have to accept with feldspar sometimes, it can just be so difficult to find a good bright clean one, but a bright one with a crack is still a bright one in my books. I'd love to see your result when you finish, sounds like a cool piece.
I have this idea for a bracelet out of orange sunstones that have both the streaks of iron oxide and the moonstone schiller effect, grind out all the cracked/imperfect material and then drill holes through the centers so it is showing both the iron oxide on both sides and then the moonstone effect on the other two sides (hole goes through the cleavage plane that shows no effect or the least visual effects) then polish the stones and feed silver wire through them with silver beads separating the stones, and then torch weld the lockijg mechanism on the ends using tiny pieces of silver. I want to make one but I don't have a good enough torch. Have everything else though. Kind of hard to do metallurgic stuff and cut gems both, it's time consuming for me considering how busy I am. Seems like it's an idea you could use for yourself, though. I figured why only show just the iron oxide streaks when you can show the moonstone effect and the iron oxide shine, both?
This us a great idea! In a geckostones live stream the other week, he was showing off some bracelets kinda like what your describing except the beads were perfect grey spheres. I want to get around to bead making sometime when it feels right, itd be nice to have a tool just for drilling so I can trust the beads. But I really enjoy the orange sunstones and the confetti sunstones, but I've only got one orange sunstone at the moment. If I get my hands on a parcle of orange sunstone and I have the tools, and metal working tools which I have none of, this would definitely be a fun project to start
I love oregon sunstone,.my next video will be shaping some of that material. These beauties are from tanzania, I really love the tanzanian material because the schiller is so strong and I love how they are usually pretty opaque. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Hello Carlyn, I don't do social media and this is the only way I know to contact you. On your ebay account I was looking at a parcel of 25 Opals for $60 and you lowered it to $54. What kind of deal can I get on 2 parcels of 25 Opals each? Let me know, if what I am about to do works out, I will be purchasing more from you. Thank you for your time.
Hey Scott! I'm willing to go 2 20+ stone parcles for $100, if you find your two favorite 20+ stone parcles in my shop and send me a offer for $50 each I'll accept and ship out your parcles. Since most fo my 20+ stone parcles have around 22 pcs I'll throw in a few extras to make the second parcle 25 stones aswell. And I always make sure to throw in free gifts of rough to all my customers.
@@carlynscolorfulcreations Hello Carlyn. I made an offer but I don't have a credit card, I will contact my son and have him use his credit card.

@@scottholliday9308 I havnt seen a offer pop up yet, but I'm sure it just wasn't fully sent or something. Take all the time you need though, I'll keep a eye out on my ebay for whenever the offer is received and I'll look forward to putting things together for you.
Which one is your favorite? Let me know in the comments⬇️

the third, obviously, but the cracked ones arent bad either.
Missed the live. These days if a horn doesn't go off I tend to miss notifications.
Great job on the stones ! And a very informative vid. Thank you.
