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.

Faceting a color-change Montana sapphire!

Come watch me facet my favorite gem yet :) This incredible piece is 2.8 carats of untreated, color-change Montana sapphire magic. While the final gem may be mesmerizing, the process that went into creating it is just as intriguing. This is one of my favorite videos I’ve made yet, and I hope you all enjoy!

We mined 600 grams of NC rubies & sapphires… from our garage? (Propst Farm part 3)
Переглядів 1,9 тис.14 годин тому
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 ...

I tried two times to enter a comment. Messed up, so if this is the third one from me, sorry bout that. Just saying now that I can not afford to buy stones but will enjoy you and your family digging them up so I can see them!
Очень красивые сапфиры .я новичок и уже многому у вас научился ,большое вам спасибо, а вы можете снять ролик как вы полируете кабошон сапфиры? Заранее благодарю .💎🥰🥰🥰
Actually this types of inclusions makes natural gems much more beauty
I agree! I love the unique ones 😊
!!!!!!
🤠 couldn't make it speechless absolutely gorgeous
Thank you so much!!!
Crab nebula
I love this! I can completely see it
👇👍👍👍👍👍
It looks like its got a hole galaxy in there.. awesome ❤
It absolutely does! Thank you 😊
That doesn’t look like much at first but wow it turned out really cool! Keep up the good work young lady you’re doing a great job! ❤
Thank you so much! 😊 I agree, I honestly wasn’t expecting much from this one but I was very pleasantly surprised by how it turned out.
Sold out
I was shocked at how fast it went! Not even 2 minutes on the site. I’m having some new rough shipped in next week.
Đẹp quá 👍👍👍👍🥰🥰
Thank you! 😊
Got a few of those prospecting. The things we walk by and take 4 granted when it could be 💎💎💎
That’s so cool!! It is wild what can hide in such an inconspicuous stone
Прекрасные праздничные сапфиры 💎🎃🤩🤩🤩
Thank you!
Looks like crab nebula
Oh that’s sick!! You’re so right!
Holy smokes it's an exact match of your eyes. Amazing!!!!
Thank you so much!!! I was pumped when I saw that side by side
Oh yeah- WE DO NOT Sale or Resale just for Familia, Friends and Donations for none-profit Organizations that Cares/Deals with CHILDREN=REGARDLESS OF BELIefs and Battered Women/Men AND HOPEFULLY SOON FOR VETERANS.

Faceting revealed what incredible unique beauty was hidden in the rough gemstone. I see it quickly sold which is wonderful for you.
Thank you so much!! 😊💚
Sorry caught this one late ❤
Sapphire Valley near Cashier's is loaded too. Some years back we got to hold a 6 lb orange pink sapphire found near the golf course dam.
Oh no way!!! I’d loooove to see a piece like that in person one day. I’ve heard sapphire valley is all on private land now and really hard to get to. Do you know if there’s any way to still go mine or dig there?
Awesome!
Thank you! 😊
Well done, I hope you had fun! But the real question remains whether you can sell them and how much you make. 😉Good luck!
Thanks so much!! I’ve sold quite a few pieces from Propst over the last year, but I’m definitely looking forward to cutting & selling some from the new batch 😊
I have a bunch of material but i don't know what to do with it. I have a wheel barrel fill off stuff just like this from mountain view nc
Oh wow!!! If you’d ever like to sell your stash or exchange some rough for a few facets, I’d be very interested. My email & socials should all be linked on my bio if you’d like to reach out!
@@tayraegems I'll reach out!
Bunch of crap
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.
!!!! speechless!!!
Thank you!!!! 😁
@@tayraegems Very welcome!!!

Not trying to be funny or a dick but after all the flooding NC has gotten recently i bet alot of gems are easier to find now, Still praying for everyone affected by Helene
Amazing job!!!
Thank you!! 😊
That was a very nice clip. Enjoyed it immensely!
Thank you!! I’m so glad you enjoyed 😊
It was fascinating to see what the process looks like. I had no idea so many carats are lost to shaping and cutting all the angles during the faceting process. I loved the finished gemstone, it’s completely original and beautiful.
Thank you so much! I’m very glad you enjoyed the process 😊 Gems like this that have a messy outer surface definitely lose a lot of weight in the shaping process!
i thought faceting was relaxing, whats up with this redneck ford truck harbor freight music?
