Our Search for Gold...

Michael loves to prospect - gold prospect. So, off we go in search of some “color” - as Miners call it - New Mexico, Oklahoma, Alabama, Georgia and the list goes on. After 3 years of prospecting, we end up with a little bit of gold (not enough to pay for our first trip) and about 6 five gallon buckets full of various gemstones. They’re pretty! What to do with them? I didn’t

want to just throw them away! So together, we decided to learn. We started researching what all these lovely stones were. We bought a gem tester and read articles and books. We bought the equipment and Michael started learning to cut, shape and polish the various gemstones and plain ole river rocks! You’d be amazed at how just a rock can turn out so pretty! And I started learning to wire wrap. I bought books, read and watched tutorials and took classes from some of the greatest artists: Kelly Jones, Pal Erika, Lisa Barth, Nicole Hannah, Oxana, Sonya Frisca, Dawn Horner and many more. I’m still learning and I still tear it up and re-do it. Eventually we hope to master it! Thank you for stopping by!

Aquaprase
$65

Aquaprase was discovered in 2013. Legendary gem explorer Yianni Melas discovered a new and unique gem in Africa, a previously undiscovered deposit of blue-green chalcedony.

When looking at the entire family of cryptocrystalline quartz stones that chalcedony can refer to, chrysoprase is definitely the rarest gemstone. It is green in color and gets this color from nickel – something that is quite rare for gemstones as they are usually colored by chromium, vanadium or iron.

FYI...The more you know.....

How Do Opalised Fossils Form?
Opal forms in cavities within rocks. If a cavity has formed because a bone, shell or pinecone was buried in the sand or clay that later became the rock, and conditions are right for opal formation, then the opal forms a fossil replica of the original object that was buried. We get opalised fossils of two kinds:

1. Internal details not preserved:
Opal starts as a solution of silica in water. If the silica solution fills an empty space left by a shell, bone etc that has rotted away – like jelly poured into a mould – it may harden to form an opalised cast of the original object. Most opalised shell fossils are ‘jelly mould’ fossils – the outside shape is beautifully preserved, but the opal inside doesn’t record any of the creature’s internal structure.

2. Internal details preserved:
If the buried organic material hasn’t rotted away and a silica solution soaks into it, when the silica hardens it may form an opal replica of the internal structure of the object. This happens sometimes with wood or bone.
