Hi Thurmond,
It has been years since I've been stymied on a cutting material
id, but I
was yesterday! We went to a local farm show which has an attached
craft
market; one of the vendors works with a number of cutters and silversmiths
in NM, and had some set cabs of a stone called "snake eye".
In color it is
slightly less lime green than gaspeite, and mottled a little like
lizard
stone; somewhat jaspery except for the eyes. It has variable hardness,
so
there are areas which are little better than semi-polished and others
which
are brightly polished. Some of the brightly polished areas have
a
chatoyancy almost like fish-scale peristerite feldspar. The rough
reputedly
comes from Siberia.
Can anyone help me with a true id, what type of mineral, and the
host rock?
Thanks,
Jim Small

They always did as far back as I can remember. I found myself
cutting out
that page, and discarding the rest of the magazine, when they replaced
"Lapidary" with "Bead of the Month".

I grabbed a few issues off my shelves from the 60's 70's and 80's.
All
had faceting diagrams.

To: "faceter's digest" <faceters@caprock-spur.com>
From: "Doug Dover" <ddover@carolina.rr.com>
I have ALWAYS gotten an extremely good value for the money from
Grady &
Phyllis Harris at http://www.creativegems.com.
I have bought amethyst and
citrine rough by the pound from them to spread among friends. I
have bought
synthetic spinel, synthetic corundum, CZ- Russian and USA
made, synthetic
rutile, Jewelite, laser glass and even got a chunk of synthetic
amethyst to
play with. They are some of the nicest people I have ever dealt
with and if
you ever go to a show where they have a display it is a rainbow
of colors,
both natural and synthetic. They have always had a selection of
CZ closeout
material for 2-5 cents per carat. One of my wife's favorite stones
is a blue
synthetic spinel SRB at 13mm whose rough came from them.
I agree about Jeff Graham having excellent rough for a very fair
price, but
if you need a faceting diagram HE has a TREMENDOUS assortment of
them FREE
other than the cost of printing them out. That alone is enough to
cause me
to purchase rough from him! If it helps offset the cost of maintaining
the
designs I would pay a higher price than he asks.
I have also gotten a good value from Rob at www.facetingmachines.com
several
times in the past.
One of the few good experiences I have had with rough off ebay is
through
Trevor at berrydopals ( www.berrydopals.com.au
) .
He is an exporter based in Australia and has lots of
miner contacts. I have bought several parcels of opal rough from
him and
always felt it was a bargain. He also has a web site to purchase
premium
opal parcels from all the way down to practice potch for a couple
of
dollars. His shipping is very quick and he communicates almost instantly,
considering the time difference. I have NEVER waited over 12 hours
for a
reply to an email
I gain nothing from these recommendations, other than trying to
help another
craftsperson acquire good material. I would also like others to
list dealers
they have had good experiences with. I will say again that some
of the best
bargains on material I have bought came from casual outside shows.
My
favorites are the one behind "The Source" on Hwy.
441 S. in Franklin, NC
during the July GLW show and the annual show at the Grassy Creek
Fire Dept.
in Spruce Pine, NC the first week in August. Both of these show
cover a
couple of acres of dealers from around the country selling out of
tents and
motor homes. Just make sure to bring sun screen, even at the top
of the
mountains it is HOT down here in the summer!

To: <faceters@caprock-spur.com>
From: "David Zaayer " <david@gemcrystals.com>
Hello members,
In regards to the posts about cutting rough, gemcrystals.com does
have a page of some rough
available. In the course of collecting fine gemcrystals, some (actually
quite a few) crystals
just don't measure up for collector pieces so they are relegated
to the cutting bin. (Bummer,
huh?) We get hold of stuff that normally would be very difficult
to find. Also, many of our
specimen suppliers have rough and I sometimes stock up for myself.
As cutting is more of a
hobby for me, right now, (my day job supplies sustenance) I have
way more rough than I can
possibly cut, so I thought, what the heck, and put up a rough page
to supply turnover and
cash flow for more and better rough. Check it out, there are cut
stones, also. And if you
don't see what you want, ask. We have much stuff not listed and
will be in Tucson. We could
look if there were special requests. We will be showing at the Inn
Suites, room 317 the 2nd
through the 14th. The room will be full of World Class crystal specimen
dealers. Stop in and
see us.
Thanks,
david@gemcrystals.com

Due to my ignorance about how Ebay works, I listed the same collection

the second item
number I gave you (#2704005169). I have ended that auction.
The
correct item number is #2155798209. Sorry for the confusion

Subject: Good Quality Facet Rough
Date: Sun, 26 Jan 2003 14:47:01 -0700
To: <faceters@caprock-spur.com>
From: "Todd" <td_gunz@yahoo.com>
Hi,
I don't post much at all any more. Mostly
because I don't cut that
much. I thought faceting would be a great thing for me to
do seeing as
I'm disabled from a failed lumbar spinal fusion surgery. Unfortunately
the extended sitting is not something I can do. Initially
I cut quite a
few stones (60 or so), but lately the pain is just too high to sit
for
long. I've got a stone in the machine that's been partially
cut in Jeff
Graham's design; "Angel Cross", since he published the
design.
I do read the Digest daily, and glean a great
deal of knowledge from
it and all the posters.
On the subject of quality facet rough, I have
to agree with the
initial poster. Those are good sources. I might add
a few more I've
bought from;
Brian Norton (www.briannorton.com). I've bought
hundreds of
dollars of rough from him. He offer good quality fairly priced
rough
with a good grading system and descriptions. He's also one
of the few
who I've seen offer good Tanzanite in larger sizes (Something you
don't
often see at all).. I can't recommend him enough. I've
never been
disappointed with his material. He is in Africa, and you send
the money
to North Carolina, but he's trustworthy, and honest, in a trade
where
those traits are hard to come by.
Hilmar Bosch, (www.africangemstones.co.za),
is a good site. I've not
purchased from him, but have corresponded with him. I think
he's
offering the rough for the Jubilee Project too. His rough
looks well
described, fairly priced and graded.
Shane Jackson's site Facet Rough dot com (www.facetrough.com) is a
good source. He offers good descriptions, and fairly priced
rough.
I've never had a problem with him or the quality of his rough.
Mike Williams site, (www.qualitygemrough.com)
is another good source
for rough from Africa. I think he has an exclusive buying
agreement
with Ross from TZ Gems. I know in the beginning, when the
deal was
first made, he ruffled quite a few feathers by cutting off what
people
were using as a good supplier. It seems to have worked out
okay for
Mike, and Ross too or he wouldn't have done it. It lets people
get a
chance to buy the quality of rough they wouldn't have access to
in small
quantities. Mike's always been fair to me, and his rough is
accurately
described and fairly priced.
Rob Kulakofsky, (www.facetingmachines.com)
while not a facet rough
dealer per se has some good rough, and everything I've bought from
him
has been good accurately described rough at a fair price for the
material. He's who I got my Ultra-Tec and all my accessories
from, and
I've never doubted his word on rough.
That's a couple of good suppliers for you all
to try.
Good luck, happy faceting,
Todd Shinskey

Great post Frank. At this point I don't have any faceting
rough dealers. For cabs I like
the
rough and service from The Gem Shop,
http://www.thegemshop.com/
However, most of my rough comes from Quartzsite and Tucson.
I will certainly try your recommendations when I look for more faceting
rough.

TODAY'S FUNNY ~
A few things to Think About.
Why isn't phonetic spelled the way it sounds?
Why are there interstate highways in Hawaii?
Why are there flotation devices under plane seats instead of parachutes?
Why are cigarettes sold in gas stations when smoking is prohibited
there?
Why do fat chance and slim chance mean the same thing?
If you can't drink and drive, why do you need a driver's license
to buy liquor, and why do bars have parking lots?
Do you need a silencer if you are going to shoot a mime?
Have you ever imagined a world with no hypothetical situations?
How does the guy who drives the snowplow get to work in the mornings?
If 7-11 is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, why are there locks
on the doors?

COMPETITIONS:
For All National and International Masters, Past-Masters and
World-Class Cutters:
This post is simply a reminder that in 2003 the USFG will host its
first National and International Faceting Competition. It
is called
the North American Faceting Challenge -- 'NAFC.'
Since the designs
and rules were first published in the 2001 September Issue of
the
USFG's Newsletter, and since they have not been published since
2001,
some of you, who are most capable - skill-wise, may not
know about the competition, and some of you may have forgotten.
The
"NAFC" is an OPEN Competition. Please note:
The designs and rules
can be downloaded at <http://www.usfacetersguild.org/events.shtml>.
The closing date is June 20th, 2003; the amount of time between
the
present date and June 20th, 2003 should be enough for all Master
cutters to cut the two required designs -- Fred Van Sant's "Four
Star," and Charles Covill's "Wind Wheel No. 2."
If further
information is needed, please contact me at <clmoon@pacbell.net>.
