Faceting the Halloween sapphire
Come watch me facet the perfect sapphire for spooky season.
This incredible piece is 3.45 carats of untreated Montana mined magic! The inclusions inside look like a galaxy, the sheen on the top looks like a spiderweb, and if you look closely you can see one suspended red gem inside that looks like a little drop of blood.
I don’t think it gets much more Halloween than that 👻🩸
This gem actually sold the second it hit my site, but I have lots more cool pieces available! Click the link below to shop.

We mined 600 grams of NC rubies & sapphires… from our garage? (Propst Farm part 3)

If you’ve ever wanted to know what happens after a weekend of digging for gems in North Carolina, you made it to the right video. My dad and I spent a weekend mining for gems at Propst Farm, and the pieces we found in the field were only half of the full haul. We brought home 4 buckets of rocks, washed them up, and found some INCREDIBLE rubies & sapphires in the mix. Whether you’re looking for ...
Faceting a tricolor sapphire from an abandoned North Carolina mine…
Переглядів 1,4 тис.16 годин тому
Today, I’m cutting a VERY unique North Carolina sapphire. It has three stunning colors, and was mined years ago at Corundum Hill. While this mine is completely closed to the public now, it was once a thriving location. I’m just lucky I was able to get some pieces to facet! I actually met the new owners of Corundum Hill sometime last year while in Franklin, and they were incredible people workin...

Faceting a Montana sapphire that matches my eyes
Переглядів 2,4 тис.14 днів тому
Come watch me cut a sapphire for a very special project… Ever since I started working with Montana sapphires, I have thought about how cool it is that so many of them are eye-colored. They even contain color zoning, inclusions, fractures, and silk that make them even more eye-like. After a while, I decided I’d try to find one that matched mine! I honestly think I nailed it with this stone, and ...

    Definitely,some really beautiful crystals. U probably have an ultrasonic cleaner? I found an old one,at an estate sale. Cheap,..I used an L&R machine for year's. They are expensive,one w/ a heater for solutions. Just have to be careful not, running but,one piece at a time,or,on a wire,not touching. I make jewelry, even as a kid,all my life. It's pretty cool job,..on your own. Those are nice.

    • @tayraegems
