Polishing Colombianite

[@johnsaucerhunter]

Colombianite.. who knew you were so luscious to look at from your 'back-side'? Yeau Kyle, my being there on that day you sliced this open was a great experience, especially after cutting and revealing the almost 3D illusion of it's back.. err front.. err you know what I mean. Cool stuff and have to admit that even though I once lived in Colombia, I had never heard of it as Emeralds from the MUZO Mine was the big export. See you all on Saturday around noonish, Rock On!

😮I love the cab but the crazy effect of the one cut in half is amazing ❤❤ Love how you can see through it and it gives the illusion of a round ball😮🤩

[@jimyounie6274]

I like the round one that was cut in half. What a neat effect. Thanks for sharing.

[@MarsStones1]

The round one was soo cool! Far my favorite!

[@RockyMountainBear]

Man, I love that 3D holographic effect of the one that is just cut in half, but that can turned out way cooler than I thought it would, too. I like them both.

[@aurorasalinas1215]

Omg the round one. It remind me of my diabetic retinopathy problem. When my physician shows me pics of what the back of my eye looks and it totally looks then the front of my eye looks. When I saw the smooth side of the round rock looks awesome then you shine the light and it is a total picture. It is totally awesome….the stone not my eyesight😅

[@sandmaker]

I had never heard of the stone, but it was pretty neat. I'm glad you cut and polished it. Leaving the back natural. It was really cool. Thanks for sharing.

[@northernrocks543]

How did you manage to hold onto that small stone without dropping it or grinding your fingers? I liked the round one.

[@kylaabegglen1275]

Wow, that's definitely an amazing material Kyle! I sure hope that you have more Columbianite pieces on your next Saturday sale. We've been busy with family the past few weeks and I couldn't make it. I would love to buy a few pieces and I need a few more prophecy stones, maybe some more opal and moonstone if you have any too. There is no way to pick a favorite. They are both really incredible! Thanks for sharing these!✌️🤠🤘

@@Gems-of-Hope-Rocks Great! Thank you Gems of Hope. 😊

[@775Rockhounding]

I really like the round cut one. Totally has a moon effect! Your polishes are superior to pretty much everything I’ve seen.

[@valsummers5330]

Utterly mind blowing Seeing the inverse of the round stone

[@darrinwilliams5715]

I’ve never heard of this material, but it is very cool and beautiful. Nice job Kyle.😎

[@JulesTools23]

Ooooo, so happy that I picked up a couple this past weekend! I love both and can easily see different ways of making both into jewelry and/or display pieces. The teeny tiny specks in the first one sort of reminds me of the tiny speckles we can see in some labradorite. Lab being just one of my weaknesses, I’m not surprised how much I’m loving this “new to me” material. Ty for always teaching me more than I ever expect to!!!🤘🤗

[@Bones_and_Stones]

Great stone. I've never heard of it, bedore. Your finish is always enviable!

[@reneehoskins7600]

Now I want to cut my Colimbianite open!! Absolutely love the round one!!😊

[@donnalantz7981]

The round one was super awesome. But they were both amazing.

[@Mike-br8vb]

They were both remarkable, out of this worldy excellent!! Thank you for sharing!

[@outdooradventureswithfayde6832]

Those are incredibly awesome! Really tough which one was better. I'd lean towards the circular one. And I'm still going with tektites because I have them in my collection with other tektites, LOL. Very cool video, Kyle.

[@mikethompson8707]

they are both really cool . I think the half is my favorite

[@bobs-rocks]

So cool never seen any before, I like the round with the 3d effect. Great polishing as usual!

[@keithcunningham7925]

I really liked the cut half really frickin cool

[@hubrigant]

They are both beautiful, but I think I prefer the round one.

[@lapidarydave]

love it ❤🦧🌈 great video as usual brother

[@gregderksen1996]

that was super cool! i really liked the 2nd one. like an asteroid in your hand! i hope you’ll be polishing up the other half too lol!

[@josephstanley200]

The round one is not insane backlit wooooow ty for sharing

[@RyanWeishalla]

I liked the cut open one better. Was hoping you were going to show how you polished that one more. Looking forward to getting the one I got on the live auction after I close my box. I'll split and flat lap it eventually as my skill improves enough.

[@Ken_G.]

I think I prefer the dichotomous halves. I love contrast pieces like that.

[@douglasbernick5908]

That’s really cool Kyle I can’t wait till I get my Columbia night and cut it in half and polish it. Also I think on the next live show I might buy another one. I like the round one the most but they’re both so cool it’s hard to tell. Which one is the best that I like.

[@Ontario_Rockhound]

Very cool Kyle!!

[@JnVrockhounding]

Definitely cool!

[@JnVrockhounding]

Definitely like the round one best

[@valsummers5330]

Liked the half with no back light because i

[@sfbfriend]

I am not familiar with this, will read the article and as for your two specimens I like both, they are equal in my puny head.

[@krackenagate5606]

wish i had some, awesome stuff Kyle
