Had to stop faceting for a while because of back and hip pain (I'm not even thirty  ). Here's my first stone in a good long time. Garnet, 7.6mm, 2.1ct, in a custom octagon that I tranposed to 96 index and tweaked to optimize performance. Then tweaked again because I ran out of crown.   |

Sorry to hear about your back and hip pain, hope it gets better (less pain).

Sorry to hear bout your pains keeping you from what you love, I'm 30 and had terrible back pain from bad posture/fishing/shoveling. A few years ago I started to hear online that celenite is good for bones and old aches and pains so I purchased a piece and started sleeping next to it and gradually the pain has lessened, my post in the "worry stones" thread explains better if you're interested ryan |

VERY nice rhodolite cut! Glad you're back at it and hope the back pain goes away soon. I'm having the identical back pain problem but I've had a lot more years of wear and tear than you have. Hope you find a cure soon. I'm also sending you a PM with a posting question.
