Well a little more playing on the genie tonight. First up, a piece of chrysocolla I bought from a local seller and let sit for months. Next, just for fun I polished a window on a piece of cheap blue apatite I got on eBay earlier this year (bought in a 2#bag) and then a piece of blue kyanite bought in a 1# bag and ground and polished into a cylinder. Update, well I kept going and fiddled with some Amazonite (left) and fluorite (right) It's nice to have the genie back, getting my legs back so I can get back to some more precious stuff.

Kyanite is really neat stuff, when you find nice bigger pieces. The cabs are nicely done. Robert

I'm sold on the Kyanite too... I like the cylinder design because it is different, which to me is always good!!

Very nice all of them, but that kyanite is a real eye catcher. Beautiful cab!

I'm with the rest on this, that Kyanite is killer! I never knew that stuff would polish up so nicely! Definitely a WOW! Can't wait to see more of that!!!
