Hi All,
I hope everyone has good luck collecting this summer so far. I did get the chance to go to "The Brook" for carnelian and Teuschenite over the past couple of weeks and with all the rain we have had here in NE pickings have been good for the carnelian and teuschenite is elusive as ever but I did mange to find a couple of pieces worth polishing/facing off. I also have a pic of what the material looks like when it comes out of the brook. I have high hopes for some of the pieces when I get to have them polished. The one big piece is the biggest I have found and looks to be one of the better pieces. The gold piece is definitely going to come out real well. I can see the shimmer in the piece even before it is cut. The one piece is blue/gold and red Teuscenite and was just ground to show what was underneath. Just water to bring out the colors. Polishing will be done later. Thanx for looking and enjoy.
