Hi again,

    Sorry to take so long to get back but have been very busy getting
    ready for another couple events to vend at. 

    Aceminer, there are large areas like what you describe being very
    transluscent blue as well as areas that have the other minerals very
    predominant and more opaque. I will email you a couple pics as well
    as some of the cabs that I have already cut from it. 

    Maybe I should have used a better term than "novice" when describing
    myself. I consider a novice or beginner as someone with less than 10
    years experience at something. I have been cutting my own stones now
    for about 3 yrs now and have been creating crystal healing tools and
    ritual tools for Wiccans for over 15 yrs. As far as my jewelry is
    concerned, I am finding I am selling more of the wire-wrapped jewelry
    than any of the other jewelry I have made. 

    I was just hoping that someone here could give me soem advice from
    their experience with working with this stone. TY. 

Bright Blessings,
Ms. Terry Pettit
