Yeah, I tested positive. Not feeling too bad, body aches and congestion- really feels just like a cold. The boss said to go home and I'm not one to sit so into the garage I went. Malachite/Chrysocolla and Sodalite. Unfortunately the Malachite was more Chrysocolla and had a few cracks- that one might just go to the scrap pile. Thanks for looking!    |

😂 I do the same thing when I’m out sick. I can be at work and feel like death, yet get home and be fine enough to do lapidary stuff.

I like the combination of colors on the malachite/chrysocolla. Much more interesting than all green malachite. Too bad about the cracks. Solalite looks great.

I bought 3 big slabs of Sodalite and two slabs of the Malachite for like $5 per slab- I'll get a picture of the other slab, they looked similar. |

Thanks, Mike, the blue Chrysocolla in it is pretty interesting.
I don't have any experience with Malachite, would stabilizing it help stop the cracking ?

Maybe. There's some red also that I liked. I've never really stabilized anything- I'm more of a move on to the next slab kind of guy. 😁 |
