Another must do in Queenstown for any rockhound ... a visit to Hetties Rock and Crystal Shop. Great range of items from around the world including NZ and Australia

The Saturday markets are worth a look if ever in Queenstown. Some great pounamu/greenstone/jade selections plus stunning vistas

Currently in Bali and had a few custom sterling silver settings created with my cabochons. Here are a couple of bracelets with chevron amethyst and opal respectively. The video was produced by my silversmith, hence the crowing rooster in the background

Too windy for fishing, so found some time for rock polishing at the local gem club. Polished cabochons, slabs and rough chevron amethyst from Cloncurry, north west Queensland.

Anyone made any amethyst cabs from their past purchases?

Folks, thanks for the sale interest. Sale will close 6:00pm tomorrow (Monday 11 December). I will purchase some Australia Post satchels and advise buyers their totals tomorrow evening when I know what satchel sizes and costs are involved. Please check your messages in the evening. Cheers, Nathan
