I found this compound at Dad's rock shop. It's the second one on this page www.dadsrockshop.com/compounds_acc.html
I got it because it says Compound for giving turquoise & Silver jewelry a mirror bright finish without removing the stones. Excellent for polishing some softer stones such as Turquoise and Malachite. I thought great, maybe I can polish my malachite this way. So it comes in the mail in this tube as hard as a rock without any instructions. So here I am hoping someone can give me those missing instructions.

How do I use it?

it's made to use on a cloth wheel grinder/ or leather end pad --- they have cloth wheels that are about 1/2-3/4" thick , you can turn it on then rub the stick ( zam) against it and then use to polish the silver/ & stone

don't see why you couldn't cut off a small piece and see if it will mix with water --- or just put the piece in the barrel with the stones -- it will get ground up as soon as you turn it on

I find I get the absolute best results using chamois wheels. The greatest advantage of Zam is its ease of cleanup. Wipe off, steam, and poof! finished piece. It will not scratch semi-precious stones.
