In this video I show you the Electroforming basics on how to Transform a Rainbow Moonstone into beautiful Crystal Jewelry. Every piece is truly one of a kind and hand carved, sanded, and polished. The pieces are plated with copper through electrolysis. We also create our own electroplating solution and electrolysis tank. All of our crystals are ethically sourced from the local museum of natural science. Our jewelry ranges from Pendants, Bracelets, Earrings, and Rings.

That's Labradorite, I say that because it is green and flashes colors, but Feldspar can form in so many different combinations with lots of different inclusions.
You can literally find a gem Feldspar that has chatoyancy from adularescence AND titanium oxide inclusions, and has shiny hematite inclusions PLUS labradorescence (the magical rainbow color flash, usually just one to three colors though).
So in that case, you would have a Star Sunstone Moonstone Labradorite. I wonder if the conditions on Earth anywhere have ever formed one before.
Anyways, I have like 8 distinct colors and types of gem Feldspars, and they are all exceptional to very high quality, some are literally perfection like the bright orange "meteor shower" Sunstone I polished and made a pendant out of. It has no cracks in it and it has adularescence (schiller effect) too but it isn't anywhere near as strong or beautiful as the rainbow colored streaks of iron oxide (hematite) inside it. Unfortunately for Sunstones that show the Moonstone effects, you can not cut them in a way that shows all of the visual effects unless you are making a free-floating pendant or something, like the stone polished and carved with a hole drilled in the top so it can be seen from all directions.
Feldspar is cool, so is Quartz because Quartz has literal physical forms that are unique unlike most other gemstones. For example, you won't find a chunk of Tiger Eye that is encased by Corundum or Beryl, it can only be encased by silica (Quartz basically) in the same way Agate and Chalcedony form.
Anyways, I f***ing love gems and minerals, I can't even make a Top 5 list if I tried I would just go on a never ending tangent.
Thanks for watching we appreciate it man and all the intel
I just found your channel and am very glad I did. Great work.
Thanks man we have been on TikTok lately, I am coming back to TikTok and going to teach everyone how to electroform on a budget
Absolutely beautiful ♡ Those turned out really nice. Much love to you and your family. ♡
Right back at you Allison thank you for watching and your genuine love ❤️ 🥰
Thank you for the great video.
so thorough thankyou!!!
I wonder how it would look if you get a very clear kinda gemstone and use that technique on it. Ye should be able to see the copper on the other side right?
I have a couple of tricks I do to work around that such as different colors of nail Polish that are flush in color with the stone
Thanks for watching we really appreciate it!
Very beautiful! I’m having a hard time finding a glue that sticks like yours … could you share the brand please? Thank you so much
Any super glue with baking soda, I like to use gorilla thick gel
They are beautiful, I have definitely found my new hobby, I have so many crystals I wanted to make jewellery with, but I cannot for the life of me wire wrap. Thank you for video, they all look so pretty ❤
Thanks so much for your wonderful video May I ask where I could find some slate stones God bless you ❤️🙏
