The cooler weather is with us and it was time to simplify the hammer and chisel process. I decided to buy the micro-blaster for removing parts of the pegmatite in search of the mud vug where quartz, tourmaline, beryl and schorl can be found. So far, we have only found quartz and solid black tourmaline or schorl. Here is a few blasts from last week my son put together and posted on youtube. We can do 3 blasts at once yet the video only shows one at a time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7UXY8RtNXmU The micro-blaster will also be great in opening up turquoise seams. Thanks for looking See all posts...
