I got this at the Gem and Mineral Show in Tucson. Itβs pulverized and hereβs why. The last vein of it was in New Jersey and they built a bridge on top of it. Done ! Encased by concrete. So a piece of this the size of a Mini Toostie Roll was NUTZ. I donβt need to pad the numbers here. When you hold a piece of Rainbow Hematite that size and then Whhhhhaaaat ? $1200β¦.? Hereβs the kicker. She offered me a test tube of the pulverized stuff for $100 and I took it. I told her about AV and asked if this can be added to contemporary marbles. Nopeβ¦.it canβt with stand the heat. Itβs used in resin pendants and other types of jewelry and what not. I put it in a salt shaker and suspended in layers of gel in one of my paintings. On top of black paint it looks like AV. Hereβs where Iβm going with this. Iβm sending a batch of this to Kimber and see if she can add it to the resin sheβs working with. Hold your hamsters and horses here. I was thinking fun on a Clearie. NOT Vintage Marbles with solid IDβs. π₯
