Shows and Events / Re: The Official Quartzite 2015 Thread!
« on: January 21, 2015, 05:01:27 AM »
Hi everyone! It's been a while since I've checked in. Lots of changes but nice to see so many old friends. I am at Quartzsite again this year, just moved my stuff over to the Pow Wow yesterday. Stop by and say 'hi'! I'm in booth 213 right next to highland park!  yes16

So the forum spam guard is and has been disabled this whole time. I suspect some of you may have malware that is redirecting you to some fakey 'captcha' site? No mention of this on SMFforfree support forum, so I dont think there have been recent changes to forum software that would be causing this. If someone can forward me a screenshot that may help me to figure out what is going on (use the 'PRTSC' button and then paste and save in paint)

Rough on the bench and slabs off the saw (general minerals board) / Re: Couple Slabs for Today

Not all petrified coral has good cell replacement. I have cut up slabs that you wouldnt guess were coral, unless you had seen the full coral head with the fossilized polyps...

The early peoples of northern Peru are really very fascinating, and the Moche culture in particular has an impressive artistic legacy. I showed close-ups of a few (probably Moche) pre-columbian quartz beads in this thread a while back.

Rock Hounding Trips, Tips, and Pics / Re: Rockhounding my way, in China on my day off
« on: July 28, 2013, 06:21:36 AM »
Wow, what an interesting place! I think I'd spend at *least* 8 hours there. How much do you think you'd have to bribe the local police to come confiscate those rhino horns? Its a little sickening... there are about 2 dozen rhinos there!

Hey Kurt! Glad to have you back. Too bad we seem to be blocked in China!

I agree it is one of your better pieces. There is one minor detail that I think would improve the overall appearance, but I don't want to seem overly critical since it really is a fantastic piece!

It's an overload of copper that hurts you, right?

That is what I understand. Theoretically, you can also get copper toxicity from working copper silicates like chrysocolla without adequate water/ventilation/dust protection. However, I think the carbonates are more readily absorbed by the body than copper silicates.
