Im sure our host here already knows, but for any amateurs, when working with quartz, the dust is very dangerous to inhale and can lead to silicosis, a long-term lung disease caused by inhaling large amounts of crystalline silica dust, a type of pneumoconiosis. Basically a miserable, irreversible, suffocating way to die. Turning parts of your lung to stone almost, killing the alveolar tissue that allows for gas exchange. Always wear a dust mask, or work with water dripping to keep the dust down and limited to slurry and not anything that can dry and get into the air as fine particles.
muy bueno me encanto este trabajo
Wow the beast❤❤❤
Great tutorial. Now to buy the tools needed to do this and head out to the mountains and other public mines for materials. I’ve been wanting to do this for sometime now.

I still dont know who will buy there and for what purpose, just one guy to put it on the shelf or what? What is the trading value of this stuff. Is this a Liquid asset or only super rich are interested.
