Tera, from what I have seen, not much value. I have rocks the size of melons with them. Blues, reds and greens, but no value. Seems they have to be gemmy for anyone to be interested.
I figured since I cannot work with them might be able to sell them to someone who could. Until I get the right tools I am at a stand still on it and I can always get tons more.
I did not see a star effect but it sorta looks like cats eye if I saw it right. Where I collected them there is cats eye but I haven't seen any star from there as of yet.
I had thought about that. Saying our truck will make it. I also thought about a local shop butttt what they start out with and what was left made me sick to see so much of the stone lost. I also thought about trying myself but no. If you could only see the one I worked it..It splintered off bad. I want to get a cab made and set in a bracelet or necklace. Hubby doesn't think it is worth anything and I want to prove him wrong so I can go back to where it was collected.
Seems I have alot to learn about working with stones. I have thought about taking a class so I can get the basics down atleast. Traveler is the roundup at the mineral show or Graves? I have looked on the site but must be over looking it.
