Can I borrow it

My wife had it sized for me since it is my birthstone, and it does feel and look nice on my finger. She also had it appraised at $1600. to $2000. so I don't think she will allow me to sell or trade. ?

Yeah it is a nice looking ring. So did it bring you any luck?

 

[old digger]

We'll see! Like I said, I was going to wear it when I go out artifact hunting, and the snow is slowly melting, so it may be not too long.

OK well you already have most of what I have found. I will look for some red jasper then. If I find it I will send that instead. Unless you already have that? I didnt know Tn had the same type of flint and chert we do here. I know Ala has some but it swirls with a tan to brown chert. I dont have that here though. Wish we did.

it is amazing what I find that I am told we do not have in our area but then I am at the bottom of the cranberry mine district out of NC. No I don't jave red Jasper..I have white lol. If you want just hold off. Like I said no rush. Will give me time to get rid of some rocks I have piled up in my way.

OK I will be on the lookout for some red jasper then. I read where the creamy black chert was only found in my area. Maybe the Indians traded it to your area. I know they prized it here.

I find alot of stuff they say is not native to us which is odd. But then we are right near the App trail so could be something to do with that where they may have packed stuff and lost it along the way but then I think about how much I find and the veins I find so I really do not know lol.

Sounds like me. Found so much druzy quartz I said it was my new favorite mineral at the time but now it has become fluorite.

Fluorite you say? Found this on Sunday. Not sure if the matrix is hematite,galena, quartz, but I think it is. Pyrite on the other side of the stone. Sure wished it was gold/silver matrix.

Could you determine the mineral in upper left of photo near Nam coin? It bends a razor blade and looks like an animal? If it is what I think it is then that is my favorite!HH Boris

Look on upper left of my largest ring[loose on thumb], Is that a white mineral in the silver925? HH Boris The one whom wore it is long gone in 1600s? Beach find.

white mineral on the silver could be calcite. maybe just a close up of it.

TeAra, lets remember that "rock horders" can select any favorites.. :P

Silver for me. The Lone Ranger named his horse after it, and used silver bullets in his gun.
