May turn yellow like citrine or green like prasiolite.

I have a blue granite countertop. The edges turned yellow under the heat of rounding.

Thank you for the info! I was just curious after being asked the same question by my Son and could not find the answer after a web search, or from other posts. He swooped down on my first tumble batch (Lortone 3A) which had a few Tiger Eyes - both Blue and yellow - and ran off with all of them! To get even I went out and purchased (Amazon) a Lortone QT66 and some AAA grade Golden Tiger Eye to enjoy myself (after a month of tumbling +/- of course). That will teach him! LOL! Giving my kids all of those purdy shinies is part of the fun for me. Thanks again!

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)
