Rock on Matt and Connie. Did you see the new tv show on gem hunting all over the world. A fella was cuttin a HUGE 15+ carat emerald and the blade got to hot and blew an inclusion and the rock to bits,cost'm $60,000 in 1 second. We have a great gem/mineral club here with a complete shop for our use at $1 a hour,such a deal. Anyhow take care and thanx for the cool video-John

Great video! I felt I was right there! Well, I've sat in the spot and used the machine so that might make it more realistic to me. The only thing wrong was it was too short!

Hi Matt & Connie:

Good to hear things are going well for you. Nice job on the emerald and it's nice to see how you did it. I guess the show circuit is keeping you busy.

Yesterday, I went to the gem & mineral show in Cedar Rapids, IA. I came home with a couple adventurine slabs, one Imperial jasper and a chrysocolla chunk to add to the inventory.
