[QUOTE="Martyz, post: 561329, member: 14320"] Just woke up this morning to see some of these finished stones for the first time. A fitting end to this story as this was where I first introduced this sapphire to the forum after it had been sitting in a box for 40 years. Found back in 1978 when my brother and I went on a fossicking trip with dad and one of his rock hound mates to Anakie, we always referred to it as the big black sapphire. It wasnt until a year and a half ago that I put an iPhone light under and saw colour for the first time. The rest is now history. My mission was to bring it to life and make something for the family to enjoy. Thanks to lots of good advice from forum members I got to meet Dihusky and entrusted him with the task of seeing what we could make of this 88ct puzzle. Mission accomplished and a job well done. I couldnt be happier. Cheers Dihusky I owe you one... well more than one. Youve helped me in ways that now have me enjoying the hobby my dad loved and I cant put a price on that. :100: :Y: :Y: [/QUOTE]
