Hi All, I recently did an experiment with a bunch of Mtorolite (chrome chalcedony, a sister to Chrysoprase which is Nickel based Chalcedony) to try to clean it up with a run through a vibe tumbler. I thought others might be interested... Before: During After: Thanks for looking!

That's cool. Changed from brown to green. Are you going to finish some? I'd love to see some of that stuff rotary tumbled and then run through the vibe.

Green botryoidal chalcedony is wild.
