<p>[QUOTE=&quot;iamtiberius, post: 2634520, member: 37707&quot;]Oh boy. I haven&#039;t taken most of this stuff out in 5 years. This thread may take my mind off Ancients for a while and start investing in lapidary equipment again.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have a 2000-3000 football and basketball card collection. The nicer of which are in a safe deposit and not photographed. Maybe later.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]580226[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]580228[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I collect minerals and fossils. These are a few I had laying around. I made the cabochons to the right.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]580231[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Small piece of red beryl (bixbite) in the matrix with black quartz that I carry with me daily.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]580233[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>I used to make jewelry, but since I no longer have lapidary equipment, I simply buy fine jewelry for the Misses (I seem to like the rings more than she does, of the 100+, she probably wears 5-10 of them. Here are a few I&#039;ve made or was in the process of making (I didn&#039;t make the Marcus Aurelius, but isn&#039;t he nice looking?))</p><p>[ATTACH=full]580229[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>This was her ring collection as of 5ish years ago</p><p>[ATTACH=full]580232[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>These are some of the gemstones I have left over or am collecting. All the stones in the middle are screw ups that I saved. Faceting can be tricky.&nbsp; The two larger ones have been radiated. The smaller bi-color rectangle cut is natural yellow-green citrine. The small trillion cut in front is Paraiba Tourmaline.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]580230[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>I also have a small assortment of about 10-15 automatic knives, including side opening and Microtech OTF; but that probably doesn&#039;t interest you guys. I had fun photographing all these; strolling down memory lane.</p><p><br /></p><p>-Michael[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
