Krazy - my pet wood from you is in polish now - photos are imminent!! Its lookin good (had to peep after 24 hours - you know how it is Got some Malachite today - and some blue lace agate for Beryl - my mother in law - she likes it. Thats an xmas prezzie. So those are my next "fix". Spent 60£ or about 100$ today at the rock shop on stone and grit - winters here and the barrels just have to keep rolling - cant leave them alone.

KD - I got about 1.5Lbs - thats all - its really expensive. My lot cost me 20 squid (about 35$) The guy said it should be rounded at 80 after 24 hours - so Im keeping an eye on it - I dont want a pile of green mud I may buy some more as its "dense" and "heavy" stuff - I like it - I like it a lot. 3.5 - 4 so soft - Its a project which may need some care and attention. Just give me a shout when the tea runs out

Mark, are you tumbling the malachite? I thought it was too soft to tumble, I'll be anxious to see what you come up with.

from what i've read on the net, you can tumble it but have to be carefull. I too am interested in your results Mark. Malachite is one of the wife's favs, so i would love to do some up for her. Keep us posted and include pics and receip please.
