Title: Anyone Work with White Quartz? Post by: James D. Farrow on April 22, 2016, 07:56:44 am Or maybe Milky Quartz as it's not all pure white.
Is it just regular quartz that is white? Anyone cab with it? Thanks, James Title: Re: Anyone Work with White Quartz? Post by: tetonartgallery on April 22, 2016, 09:43:01 am cabs great - looks nice as rings and pendants - really nice if it has gold inclusions.
Title: Re: Anyone Work with White Quartz? Post by: mossyrockhound on April 22, 2016, 10:15:08 am The material I have looks just like low-grade rose quartz, except it's white. It was easy to cab.
Title: Re: Anyone Work with White Quartz? Post by: Steve on April 22, 2016, 10:26:15 am I've used some, actually quite a few. The white quarts was mixed with the stones that xero-scape my yard.

Title: Re: Anyone Work with White Quartz? Post by: James D. Farrow on April 22, 2016, 02:57:01 pm Thanks Everyone!
I think I will give it a try. James Title: Re: Anyone Work with White Quartz? Post by: Enchantra on April 23, 2016, 04:01:14 pm White Quartz is gorgeous.
I have a few cabs of it cut by Connie. She called it "Bull quartz." It's great paired with silver and since it's a neutral color it pairs well with a lot of other gemstones. Title: Re: Anyone Work with White Quartz? Post by: James D. Farrow on April 23, 2016, 04:22:05 pm I have had a closer look at the white quartz at the place I get my rocks from and
think I will wait. In the picture most of it looks more like foggy clear quartz. I wanted solid white. I know it's just a picture and not a true representation of what you get but still leery enough to think about it some more. James Title: Re: Anyone Work with White Quartz? Post by: Jhon P on April 23, 2016, 07:13:21 pm Are you looking for a piece of white quartze? I have a few prices that I was going to cut up and make a doublet with black jade to try carving somthing with a white background
Here is a picture it came from the snakeskin agate area near Austen Nevada it looks more like jasper because I cannot see any light thru it Title: Re: Anyone Work with White Quartz? Post by: James D. Farrow on April 24, 2016, 04:55:35 am I was looking for a few pieces. Anyway, I decided to take a chance and ordered
a small amount to see what I get. Hopefully there are a few good pieces that I can use. James Title: Re: Anyone Work with White Quartz? Post by: Jhon P on April 24, 2016, 05:17:31 pm If it isn't white enough let me know, I will cut a piece and polish it to see how it looks and if it's white for what you want I can send it to you
