Nice! I am glad I'm not the only person trying this strategy. I do need to admit I am completely unfamiliar with the wold of gemstones. Do you just go out and look for the initial stones?
(Btw I think you have a typo in your link? https://lemmy.world/c/faceting )
Argh! Thanks, fixed the link.
I generally buy the rough from dealers or gem shows. My bucket list has a couple of line items to visit some mines and buy direct.
Ah that would make sense that they need to be mined. Still, that is a cool hobby I have never heard of before! You should make a post explaining the full process. Perhaps I will make a post explaining back country skiing as well for those who have never heard of it.
(edit: subscribed! You got me interested)
Good idea, Iโll work on a write up with pics.
