I bought this rock last week at Quartzsite. (DG) The vendor had a large crate labeled pink moonstone. Most of the stuff was white, pink, and sparkly. But some of it was lavender like the piece that I bought. Would you call it pink moonstone? Or something else?   |

Thank you Pat and melhill1659 . I probably won't have much time to use it until next fall, but Mr. Sesona isn't getting any younger... I think I'm going to go for it. Well, after the Tucson shows that is.  |

Yes I met Bill yesterday and Tony today I can see were in for good times. Gosh I have never seen so many beautiful rocks in my life that's for sure. Isn't it amazing! But then there is Tucson...some shows start as early as Jan. 29th. Just in case you need an excuse to by stone...a little extra weight might help with the slick roads on the way back home.  |

Thank you Rockoonz. I like your focal beads. And the multi-task work table is an ingenious use of space!  |

This thread was very interesting to me back in 2017/2018. Now for the follow up questions for those who have Mr. Sesona's machine. melhill1659 Rockoonz rockjunquie Pat TheRock Do you love it? Would you buy it again? Are you making intarsia pieces or using the machine for something else? All insights appreciated! I'm happy with mine. I use it a lot to grind backs flat as I haven't tried much intarsia, yet. It always gets pushed to the back of a long list of things to do. Good to know. The Cab King comes with a 220 lap plate which I use regularly. Thanks! |

I like mine. Not using it as much as I would like because I'm busy with other pursuits right now, retiring and getting a house ready to sell. It has been a go to machine for a number of tasks. Wish it was 8" instead of 6" though, but overall it's a great value. Two very big deals...good luck with the house and happy retirement! What tasks are you using the grinder to do? I am trying to figure out if it will benefit cabbing even if I find out intarsia isn't for me. I like the look of the intarsia pieces and being able to make my own for jewelry would be more unique than the pieces that are available on the commercial market. Thanks! |

Thank you @rocks2dust that gave me more information than the plethora of metaphysical properties.

I picked this up from an estate sale in Arizona. At the most, a Moh's 6. Any idea what it is? Thanks.   |
