[QUOTE="Explorer385, post: 175069, member: 1849"] Hi all, I actually met Kyle at Grabben Gullen a few weeks ago and he showed me the stone in pic 1 & 2 above. I held it toward the sun and it was not transparent that I could discern. It is a lovely deep blue and in my view would not cut as a gem quality stone but would cut into a nice pendant stone or a cabochon. I found Kyle to be a nice young bloke, eager to learn and I think that he will make a great addition to this forum. The stone is not "valuable" as in gem quality but would make a nice stone for a collection and should have some sentimental value as one of his first finds. I encourage him to make contact with the Lapidary club as invited to do by FossickerACT. Terry [/QUOTE]
