Yeah, plenty more out there. I've got plenty I wish were cuttable, some nice looking ones I thought were and are'nt. Just got to keep at it, next shovel could be the one.

Yep it lost all its magic, here are some pics to compare in terms of size. Cant find my scales but the blue saph is 1.93 carat, green ones almost twice the size.
Would probably look ok in a blokes ring, liking it more the more I see it, not great colour but yeah a blokes ring might suit it, might look better set too as a contrast with the metal.
Blue stone looks awesome! Hoping I've got 1 that cuts as nice.

Langfords Gems SA cut both.
Few stones my mate just got back from Lamberts. They look great in the pic, will hopefully see them and get a good look tonight or tomorrow. The largest 3 clear ones are Topaz, there are a few Garnets, a bunch of Zircons and quite a few Sapphires also. He bought a jar of Garnets, Topaz and a few other stones from a mate up there. Though most of the Zircon and all of the Sapphs were found by my mate.
My first parcel is half way through cutting also.

Wow what a happy bunch of stones
very impressive Heatho
He's stoked with them. So keen to get mine back, a few weeks and they should be done. Will post pics when they arrive. The Zircons really look great I think, so keen to find some bigger ones.
Here's a pic of Kingsolomon's first finished stone, a 3ct Pink Cubic Zirconia. He had trouble getting a focus on it but I manged to get a few so am uploading on his behalf. Looks great I think.
Heatho, that is one sweet stone, very nice!
Kingsolomon has to be happy with that!
How much roughly would it cost to get a stone cut like that?

Not sure, we havn't discussed prices yet as this is the first stone he has cut........ But he surprised me with how good a job he has done, nearly choked on the kebab he bought me when he put in on the table.
He put quite a few hours into it, about 8 in total I think.
In Thailand not much, maybe $5, in Australia it would be a lot more. You get what you pay for though in this regard, the Thais do a good job but on an industrial type scale.

yep if you zoom in close enough taking the picture they look real big
the ones at the front don't fall through a 1/4" sieve and the rest are caught by 1/8"
Great colour, I really like Peridot.
