[QUOTE="Dihusky, post: 418196, member: 10304"] Thanks Lefty, really appreciate your comment. Have a few bits of tv-ite colour change which I want to play with, also picked up a large hunk of bottlite at the silver mine when at Gemorama last weekend, caught my eye as it was old, thick and an unusual light pink/purple colour, recon I can can get at least 6 stones out of it. Next project I am thinking of is a pair of black sapphire brilliants for ear studs. Found a heap of black sapphire on the Gemorama trip with many around the 5ct mark so could produce some really nice stones. Mixed in were the expected spinel plus a few black stones having a 4.5-4.6 sg, crystal structure but left me scratching my head as to what they are, not that it matters as the cut will be for reflection not refraction.
