    I had the pleasure of meeting Jim K. in Tucson 20 years ago. An amazing artist. His intarsia lines are nearly flawless.

    I'd never heard of Intarsia until you all introduced it back in a previous show. Absolutely stunning. Each piece was more beautiful than the next.

    Wow these are absolutely stunning and remind me of Art Deco in their style and composition. Absolutely gorgeous. And I learned a new word, intarsia! Thanks for this video!

    I've done intarsia knitting and crochet but never even made the connection to gemstones! I tend to lean toward natural specimens but these are stunning and the skill this must take is unfathomable!

    Saw some intarsia at a gem and mineral show about 12 years ago and they were incredibly expensive but oh so lovely. Fire agate and black opal are my favorite gemstones. TFS

    Very pretty stone(s), but not too many people could wear those - or they could be mistaken for costume jewelry 🤓

      No. It said in the video they were all one of a kind.

  • @drewskifrosty5955

    They showed a nodule of Chert variety Flint and called it Black Onyx?

    • @hybridgoth
      @hybridgoth ปีที่แล้ว

      Flint/chert is predominantly microcrystalline quartz with varying impurities
      Black onyx is also a microcrystalline quartz with varying impurities
      Whilst you are correct in identifying that it was indeed chert, they weren't exactly wrong calling it onyx either.
      Essentially the only discernable difference between chert and most jasper varieties is the size of the granulation within the specimen.
      Whilst some may find the distinction important, after it's polished it would be near impossible to tell a finer grained material from a coarser one unless the piece had some visible banding along where one could see the crystal boundaries under magnification.

    Wow geology student been avoiding this vid for some reason, guess I dislike manmade things but good lerd are these beautiful 😍 amazing what humans do!
    Gentle feedback now, the Japanese pronounce a hard g so it's soog(g as in granite) ee lite. We name minerals as the namer pronounces it. I often catch myself trying to call is soojilite too 😂

    • @SharpAssKnittingNeedles

      Still emphasis on the first syllable tho, so at least we're doing something right?
