:D Hello fellow Rock hounds,

I have been go for awhile, had a ruff year, lot of family issues going on. But now I'm back and here to stay for awhile. While I was away, I always had you guys and the love of gems in the back of my mind. This past year was the "Fossil" year for me, I found another forum dedicated to fossils...and well, I got sucked up for awhile sharing my other passion and showing off my collection. I did manage to pick up a few gems this year and thought I would share them while reintroducing myself to the group.

Thanks Mehoose! I have 2 other axinites, but they are full of fractures :cry: . The clarity is good (minus the fractures :cry: ) and the coloration is different on the other ones, so they still make nice examples. But this guy, wow, when I seen it I just had to have it, about 90% clear. Thanks for taken a peak. :wink:

Hi Troy,

Would love to cut a nice Kunzite like the ones you have pictured.
Really pretty stones.
