cochetopa 15 Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Hi,I regularly watched the "Gem Hunt" cable tv series over this last winter. The emphasis on haggling over price was a turn off, but getting to visit actual gem mines and see gem material in the rough more than compensated for me. The one character in the series who I enjoyed was Bernie Gaboury, the quiet, techno-gemologist-geologist guy. The May, 2014, issue of "Rock&Gem" magazine has an interview with Bernie which I really enjoyed. Maybe you will too. Besides his knowledge of gems, minerals, geology, lapidary, faceting and chemistry, I now also admire him for his outlook on life.Sincerely,-C Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Regmaglitch 103 Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Hi Cochetopa, Welcome to the forum. We have done a lot of 4-wheeling, and some prospecting in The San Juans, up your way.please feel free to post about any of the subjects you list above. I myself am saving for a rock saw so that i can cutsome collected material for sale, and the occasional meteorite. Best Regards, Ben Quote Link to post Share on other sites
