Mary S - Sweet Chick says:OH Wow! I want this!
And can anyone tell me anything about cuprite?
On Apr 09, 2009 at 2:15 pm #
Smoky Rose says: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.

Smoky Rose says: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.
On Apr 09, 2009 at 2:19 pm #
Smoky Rose says:copper oxide.
hardness of 3.4 – 4 – so, don’t be throwing it around

Elaine aka Belly Chick says:Not a problem, Smoky Chick. I find it all rather interesting anyway because I really don’t know much about gem stones!
On Apr 09, 2009 at 2:53 pm #
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.

CAS says: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.

Smoky Rose says:wow – cool!
