Thanks Elaine!
and sorry that I monopolized your Pick before with gem chatter.
-it is really quite stunning and sure didn’t mean to take away from that.

You Sweet You, You –
I’m gonna look it up – want to say that it’s copper based – want to say that as a facetted stone has a low Mohs rating…
I’m gonna check now.

copper oxide.
hardness of 3.4 – 4 – so, don’t be throwing it around

Not a problem, Smoky Chick. I find it all rather interesting anyway because I really don’t know much about gem stones!

Smoky Rose says:

I don’t know that much either – not compared to all there is to know – heavens! I toyed with taking GIA classes, but I love my day job and would just as soon spend my off time making jewelry, I think… for now, at least.

I’m lucky, my Dad majored in geology at UConn, and taught material science labs at Dartmouth College. So all I have to do is say “Dad, what’s this rock?”, and I get the answer. Faster than having to look it up.

Yummy, yummy!
Calsilica is one of my new favs!
The Calsilica make beautiful & popular
rings. The beautiful mix of browns & blues is just too much for any bead/gemstone addict to pass up
