We cut some gold ore into Cabochons. Came out nice!

I collected some ore from deep down in a mine last fall.
This stuff was quartz rich and stable which made it suitable for cabbing.
Something to think about for highgrade specimens. Makes some nice jewelry.

To remove the stone from the dop stick pop it in the freezer for an hour then gently tap the stone on a table. The stone will pop off clean and I won't have to cringe when you take a torch to your dop.
