Title: Australian Variscite pics
Post by: Opal Mike on August 12, 2021, 09:42:27 PM
Forgive my indulgence here…I am trying to figure out how best to post images. Having heaps of trouble around distortion and changing orientation of stones, and quality..

I will play around in this post a bit with some Variscite pics.. Hopefully I can get them to look a bit closer to the actual stones…do them justice

Cheers,
Mike

Finally getting better…except for the changing orientation …which annoys me a bit as I spend a lot of time on the orientation of scenes etc …few more…hope you enjoy…

This is exceptionally rare very hard absolute gem grade Australian Variscite…

Understand your frustration with "helpful" automated features on so many things today.

Thanks for pressing on and posting photos of that incredible variscite. Unlike any I've ever seen. I really like the patterns.

Very nice variscite, how hard was the good one, I find it very soft to work.
