Sortitallout Posted December 15 Author Report Share Posted December 15 Oh by type I’m referring to a lapidary sphere maker and typically rose Quartz, amethyst, moss agate . . . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted December 15 Report Share Posted December 15 I've never understood that agate makers specifically chose raw agate with much specificity beyond fissure-free to avoid fracturing during grinding. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one is full of moons or hit marks from play. Back light this one with a strong pen light--very cool to look at. Marble--On!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheese Posted December 15 Report Share Posted December 15 The modern lapidary mineral spheres are not worth much. The older agates that you can see were done by hand with tiny facets and flat trails that can bee seen with close and careful inspection have value. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
