Hi, geo-enthusiasts!
We've gotten our Christmas present with the GIA Identification Report on our Blue G!
You can see the GIA Report here at our Blue G page:
www.hand2mouthmining.net/Blue_G.html,
along with some of the many styles we've found.
Since we expect to see other rockhounds finding this material in various colors,
we'll continue to refer to our blue Panoche Hills Gem Lawsonite as Blue G.
Top Slate Blue, with silica healed fractures.
According to the GIA, its major minerals are Lawsonite, Feldspar and Quartz, with lots of accessory minerals.
The average hardness is 7.5 to 8 Mohs, and the jadeite like micro-crystalline structure is jade tough!
This month we're offering 4+ lb. small flat rate boxes of mixed style slabs,
A to Top grade, normally $10 per pound or more as single slabs,
for
$35
with free shipping!
Ask for RTH-BOSMixed-BG-SFRB-$35
------------------------------------------
I'm (slowly) working on adding Gem Lawsonite boulders to our website.
If you're interested in Blue G boulders,
or other colors and styles of Gem Lawsonite, just drop me a PM.
We've got tons of boulders in Medium and Large FRB sizes, and will happily send photos for approval.
Black & Blue, with discrete crystal forms. at 17 lb., this nodule fills a MFRB.
--------------------------------
FYI, there's a new page with Gem Lawsonite grading and cutting info at:
www.hand2mouthmining.net/Blue_G_-_More_Info.html
---------------------------------
We're still offering MFRB's of mixed grade nodules, with over 20 lb. of
Panoche Hills Gem Lawsonite packed in woven poly "miners bags" for gorilla-proof shipping,
for
$30
with free shipping!
Ask for RTH-BOMixNod-BG-MFRB-30
These nodules have all been "windowed" to assure cuttability, the color intensity of these nodules and chunks varies, and we'll happily fill general requests as to color and style.
I'm working this week on what will be an ever expanding Index page for Gem Lawsonite of all colors and patterns.
To order, please PM us with your selection, and be sure to include your email address for invoicing.
We usually invoice through PayPal for customer convenience, but do accept money orders and checks upon request.
Feel free to request specifics on your order, we value your satisfaction.
-----------------------------------------------
At our Etsy Store (www.etsy.com/people/Hand2MouthMining),
we're featuring a small selection of Blue Gem Lawsonite pendants.
These sturdy pendants feature electroforming by Earthrelics,
with a scratch resistant 18kt gold & cobalt alloy.
Me n' Al would like to thank all of our patrons for their support this year, and wish you all a Happy Holidays!
