I got a small amount of this material at the Portland Rock Show a couple of years ago and I can’t remember what they called it. This week is the first time I’ve worked with it and I would really like to get some more. Can anybody tell me what it is and/or where I can get it? Thank you Garrett

That's psilomelane, a silicified manganese material that's sometimes called black malachite. Messy to work but makes a friggin awesome cab in black and silver tones....Mel

If there ever was a time to wear surgical gloves while cabbing, Psilomelane is it. Some of the nastiest stuff I've ever cabbed, but as Mel says it "makes a friggin awesome cab"
