Are they worth getting cut do you think?

This under the loupe kinda looks like an Aussy raw diamond bcos of the brown discolouration can anyone clarify

Don't know if this is any clearer or not

It's always good to put a 5c coin in the photos for a size comparison. As for cutting, probably not mate, they need to be a bit bigger, the Thai's will cut them but they are not worth sending over in my opinion.

Cheers mate should I just keep hunting or stay on gold do you think? They don't get much bigger down here in Aus not that I can find anyway

 

[Next1m8]

Was raining very heavily between Bathurst and Kurmond yesterday driving back from the Central West, rivers and streams were swollen and running fast. Stopped in at the parents in the Hawkesbury and any low lying flat ground was flooded.

Nice stones Varts, avatar looks very nice too.

 

[Varts]

thanks heatho ,that blue is super nice and the shape is full to ,it will cut a sweet stone.
central west ,where you chasing some rubies?

 

[Heatho]

Beautiful colour that stone is Varts, my fav Sapphire colour and hue. No was out Gold detecting, though may have had better luck chasing Rubies. No Gold this trip, it was hiding........somewhere.

Yesterdays Labradorite.

 

[Varts]

It is very colourless for labradorite ,
Or is the colourless how it is in Aus?

Nice lot of labradorite looks like you may have a few cutters that should show a nice golden hue.

Look forward to seeing your haul when they are cut. The richness & brightness of labradorite makes it one of my favourite stones to cut. You always get a good finished stone.
