This well known California material is rarely worked into a gem material - it is soft and difficult to work with. If you’ve been to a rock show anywhere in the US it’s likely you have seen specimens of Kernite on offer; the true difficulty is in cutting and polishing it. If you do, you are often rewarded with a relatively strong cat’s eye. Large and with a consistent eye and nicely contrasting bodycolor. Fascinating US piece.
