Jewelry Workshop 4
There are muffins and coffee and tea available for the workshop participants.
“Hello gang. Sorry about last class, I seemed to have slept through it.” She shrugged slightly. If you knew Agatha well, you’d see she was a bit worried. “Last time we talked about metal. Today we are going to talk about stones. As you may be aware, precious, semi-precious and other stones get put into jewelry time after time.”
Agatha put sa wide variety of faceted and cabochon stones on the table for everyone to inspect. She separates them into several groups. “These here are completely fake. They are not real rubies and sapphires. This is cubic zirconium, not a diamond. These are cheap but look pretty.” She points to another group “these are synthetics. They are the real thing, real rubies, real sapphires. They wer ehwoever grown in the lab to be nearly perfect. They are not as cheap a sthe fakes, but they are muchcheaper then this next group.” She walks over a bit and points to the last group. “these ones were founding nature and cut or polished to the current state. The yare highly prized and very expencive.” She pulsl out several more cabochons from her pocket. “These are not stones at all. These are pine tree rasin. Also known as Amber, natures preservative. This one has a bug inside. The rest are just pretty. They are cheap, and hard to work with. You can not heat your metal with Amber in it. But they sure are pretty to look at.”
She looked over the class. “Take a look at the different stones, feel them. See if you can perceive a difference.”
