I cut the cab out of some rose quartz I mined out of the Greenhorn Mountains last spring.

Hogg Mine is a rose quartz formation bearing beryl cyrstals like 100's of pounds here south of Atlanta.There was so much the govt mined the beryl as ore to make beryllium-a slick high temp metal used as barrel liner for cannons.The rose quartz matrix is massive and tennis ball chunks w/out a single fracture fairly common.It has become a pay mine with controlled removal.Used to be $25 a day unlimited.The rose is light in color but asterated!

Jamesp, this was not cut from material from the Hog Mine. This came out of the Summer Rose Claim in the Greenhorn Mountains, California. This material also will display aterisms. Here is an example of the bright stars this material will display if the orientation is right

I think the rose quartz looks kinda like Victoria stone.

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
