Nice! I am glad I'm not the only person trying this strategy. I do need to admit I am completely unfamiliar with the wold of gemstones. Do you just go out and look for the initial stones?

(Btw I think you have a typo in your link? https://lemmy.world/c/faceting )

    Argh! Thanks, fixed the link.

    I generally buy the rough from dealers or gem shows. My bucket list has a couple of line items to visit some mines and buy direct.

    Ah that would make sense that they need to be mined. Still, that is a cool hobby I have never heard of before! You should make a post explaining the full process. Perhaps I will make a post explaining back country skiing as well for those who have never heard of it.

    (edit: subscribed! You got me interested)
