Hunting and Smashing Gemstones - Chrysoprase | Liz Kreate
Рет қаралды 23,192
3 жыл бұрынIt is legal in Australia to find your own gemstones. When prospecting in Australia, there is a limit on how much gemstones one is allowed to take. You have to think outside the square and only pick the best specimens. Sometimes you have to smash a few of them to get to the best pieces.

Liz, your videos are the reason my dream vacation is a month traveling around Australia fossicking. You and Wal are awesome. I've camped in windy conditions like that (in Kansas, even) and I am willing to brave the weather and every dangerous animal in AU for the opportunity to find things like you have. Thank you so much for your videos!

@@LizKreate I apologize! Australia has a (probably undeserved) reputation here for having the most venomous/dangerous animals. Every time I tell folks I want to visit, someone tells me that the wildlife will kill me. ;) As a biologist, I'd love to experience a whole new set of biomes. As an amateur gem/mineral/rock enthusiast, I would love to explore an entirely different geology. I apologize again if I offended!

@@virginiaphillips3946 No offense at all. We actually tell new visitors to Australia to watch out for the "Drop Bears and the Yowie."

Hi Liz, great to see you and Wal again. As always you have put yourselves on to some great looking material. Lovely looking rock. I have a question, the chrysoprase at the beginning has a similar look to dendritic opalite with the grey streaks in it, can it be cabbed and worked in a similar way. Keep Safe & Keep Rockin
@LizKreate 3 жыл бұрын
Yes it can. It's softer than the Chrysoprase and I suspect it is a form of dendritic opalite/Turquoise but need to have it check to be sure. Testing cost too much.

That red dirt is amazing to me. I know a lot of Australians hate it but I don't have that here on the East coast in the United States so it really just fascinates me. LOL and as you're chipping away all the rock away from the gemstone I'm thinking how crumbly it is and I could use that in my succulent soil LOL but I'm short it probably lacks the minerals that the granite has. But you really inspire me with your positivity. You're always so happy and positive. 💕

The soil/rocks is no good for succulents. It'll kill them...LOL I have a couple pieces of Chrysoprase chips displayed with my succulents.
@janetac1738 3 жыл бұрын
@@LizKreate that blue color is amazing. So speaking of the rocks killing the succulents I'm now beginning to be able to see which succulents thrive on the high granite soil mix and which ones really don't like it. It's fascinating. So I'm making adjustments as needed and I think I'm finally at the stage where if I lose a couple here and there, then it's okay it's not going to burden my inventory. But with my soil mix and my new grow lights I'm seeing all these wonderful colors coming out 💕 oh! Speaking of that, I have a huge rubella that I just did a head shop yesterday. And it really did not like the soil mix, since I already chopped it can I transplant the stem into a different soil mixture or is it best I just leave it alone and leave it where it is this is the only mature rubella I have. And I want to give it the best chance to throw off pups.

@@janetac1738 I suggest letting it dry out first by just putting it on an empty vase with narrow mouth and let it grow roots on it's own; then plant it on your preferred soil. It might take a few months weeks to grow roots since it's still Winter in your area.
