Allen in MT Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Was going thru and cleaning up some gold as this stuff is real course and small and have been putting the Unique little tweezer pickers (TP'S) in those little blk felt lined gem jars. This is one of the bigger 1 3/4" round jars. Thought they showed off better in these and make great conservation pieces. These 32 little pieces weighed 1.650 gms and are from the Garnet Mtn range here in MT. Have even sold a number of the smaller vials looking like this. Just something to do to wile away my time as there is snow at the mine now and the wife says it isn't time to go South yet.e&hagdAllen in MT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a type of jewlers glue. I bought my tube at a rock show.Allen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
