El Dorado Posted December 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 Thanks Everyone. Just a note, I do the slabbing and stone cutting for free. It's so much fun I could not possibly charge! Plus I get a little gold the saw and polishing wheels remove. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjbond Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 Do you sell those little ones you show in the picture, they're beautiful but I don't have any quartz specys to have you do for me.Jen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Dorado Posted December 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 These are all for the owner of the rock (Cooter) and I am making pendants out of these for him. I do have a few cabs I made from slabs from the 16-1 mine and I have some slab material from Laos that makes for beautiful cabs. E-mail or pm if you are interested.

Huego 1 Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 Hi Steve, lovely work and even lovelier results. Beautiful! Some questions from me follow. Have you ever slabbed & made cabs from gold in ironstone specimens (ie black matrix)? I would imagine gold veins would nice in a black background too.I have some Aussie specimens (in quartz ) that may be nice turned into cabs or polished free forms (for pendants). Would you consider doing that for me? What is the loss from a cut & the kerf of the sawblade? Thanks and regards, Huego Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

claim jumper Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 Thanks for your PM Steve, I have sent you a PM in reply, Cheers, Huego The way you talk about how everyone on these "Minelab" forums are stupid and blindless followers, I can not believe you have the nerve to show your face here Huego. You should be ashamed of yourself for the way you talk on Dougs forum! Any comment there big boy? Or maybe a few screen shots from Dougs will bring back your memory. And to the other folks here I am sorry for bringing this up, but Huego is nothing but a trouble maker trying to act like he is a innocent bystander.

A Cabochon is a domed gemstone cut with no facets like the after shots in the original postNB... not from Ca, but close in Oregon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
