Sweet shots and info, too. I'm sure all you guys are a million miles away from me. How small is too small to cut? I have no idea about anything, to be honest. And what would it cost? Keronut, I really love the results you go there! Went out today and got a few little bits and pieces. Will post some pics later.

[Varts]

SMOKEN................. :lol:

 

[Lefty]

Done well there Varts, I like that dog's tooth

 

[richo966]

wow mate keep it up

 

[Varts]

Thanks everyone,
The trouble with these few is they clearly tell me that most of my collection is not cuttable,
But they are still cool.

 

[richo966]

I worry I about how many I have collected can be cut looking forward to having some one look at them I think may be 5 will be okay mate how big is the dog's tooth I have found only smallish ones mostly green ones but they tend to have good colour

Yeah I know how you feel mate...... Still it's that really nice one now and then that makes all the digging worth it.

Can cab non facet stones, for $2 a pop they look ok, each one is unique.

now just what do I do with my bombs

 

[Varts]

Bombs,
Just because they are bombs doesn't matter Richo ,
Bombs or cutters ,they are as old as the earth and super special ,not one the same ,

I m thinking of doing a few carvings?
Maybe with like a diamond dremel?

Cool heatho

Thanks jerry

And lefty there not that big ,all cut but,biggest in pic about 5ct

 

[richo966]

Varts, Are you going to cut any of your little diamonds?

Good stones everyone.

 

[Colmaca]

Topaz don't know what to do with it any ideas ?

 

[Macinverts]

G'day Lefty. The 'star-shaped' stone is not very big. Just liked the others But, as Vart says, all are special . As I'm learning and a little ignorant, what is cabbing and at what size can you do it (Heatho)?
