Is rock size important to women?

[Carp]

(I think refereing to an adult female person as a girl is disrespectful.)

If so, I want you all to know that I am a rock collector. While I may not have the biggest, there are some cool ones. (And some big ones as well- not huge, just the right size...)

Only when refering to diamonds!

My goodness, you have a shallow view of women. Women, please prove him wrong...???...

I actually prefer one that is smaller, I have small hands, and who wants a boulder on their finger?

How small is small? I have about a half-dozen 10 points rattling around my workshop...

[Carp]

I don't even know what that means, lol.

There are 100 points in a carat. Thus, a 1/4 carat stone has 25 points. 10 points is 1/10 of a carat. Small, but nor tiny. Grouped together, they can look quite nice.

I like hematite. Medium-sized.

 

[Starfish]

Actually, yes.


Just yesterday I was contemplating this.


Should I use the large round rocks that are weathered quite well as the endpieces on my archway rails? I mean, I put them there, and I checked them out and they looked great, but then I got some other rocks I have and I moved them and they were odd and smaller, and I ended up going with the bigger, rounder rocks. Yes, it does matter.


Oh, and also, there is a lot that matters for.


I mean, if I am going to make a stone grinder for my cornmeal, I need just the right size rock to chisle down. See? Are you getting it?

 

[Starfish]

I mean, what if I want to do a marble life sized sculpture of Adonis or something?


I mean, it has to be some big rock. K?

I am right there with you. Ya gotta have the right tool for the job.

Not a shallow view, just life experience.

Also, to skip rocks you need the right size and shape. A really big one is just going to fall on your foot when you try to toss it. A small one will just sink. You need a nice palm-sized one.

Can I be your model? Not that I look like Adonis or anything (well, unless he has really let himself go...) but I would sure like to medel for something...

I like hematite. Medium-sized.

Hematit is quite nice. Very heavy for its size. But also very brittle.

The size of the rock isn't important to me. The quality....now that's a different story.

 

[Starfish]

I actually don't sculpt much, but if you look anything like Charlie, I'll let you know when I start my next big sculpture and I'll do you.

Oh, wait. Uh... yeah. hum.

Pounce. So, what makes a rock quality for you?

And it has to have the right shape- flat on both sides is best, and I like oval ones the most.

Oops, sorry. That's not me in my av.

Da bling bling. lol.....the clarity, color, prettyness. Can you tell I know nothing about this subject?

 

[Carp]

I like this one, it's a half carat...

Half carat is good for a loitare. That's what I gave my ex. G color, flawless. custom made setting. very chi-chi. She still has it. Probably sits on her dresser. Oh well. Made for us by a friend of mine who has since died.

Geez! Why didn't you say so earlier?

 

[SilvaTungDevil]

I'm confused. I thought this was a thread for crackheads. Can someone point me in the right direction?
