It was ridiculously fun, especially for those of us who are already on the slightly more obsessed side of mineralogy/gemmology/pretty shinies (I'm looking at you Angie).
I'm planning on going back there as soon as I am able. <3
Got a chance to try something I've always wanted to try; shaping and polishing a finished cabochon from scratch. Thanks to a uni friend with lapidary experience, a small group of us jewellery makers got a chance to make our own cabochons. We got out eager little fingers into as many techniques as we could in under 2 hours and managed to fit in cutting pieces out of slabs and stones, shaping, dopping, polishing and pruney wet fingers. It was ridiculously fun, especially for those of us who are already on the slightly more obsessed side of mineralogy/gemmology/pretty shinies (I'm looking at you Angie). Adding fuel to the obsession!
