Hi guys. I got my very first natural stones and I'm really excited about them. They're citrines, peridots, smoky quartz, garnets, etc. Really common and with awful cuts/chips/inclusions but I think my facebook friends are already tired of me sending them pics, so I figured I'd move my enthusiasm over here instead. I'm not sure if they have other treatments aside from heat (the description didn't mention any other). They were very cheap and I'm kind of happy they're so flawed as it means I can learn a lot from them. I haven't been able to study them that much because all my loupes and my glasses are at my parents' house. Sorry for the less than professional pictures!
On Saturday I'm going to visit this local place where they sell mineral (mostly quartz I'd imagine). I'll post a reply here if I buy something nice :)

Gotta start somewhere, as we all did at one time. Looks nice...a classic beginner purchase there. Well done! Read, study, learn about gems, if that is a new passion of yours, but be wary of the trade, for it is fraught with those who pray on the unlearned and ignorant(as we all are in the beginning). Hopefully you get the bug and can't stop...LOL...like I did...sheesh Thanks for posting!
