While out at Jamies with banjo a couple weeks ago. jamie and i traded. this is the frist cab cut from her Confetti Chrysocolla. I did stablize it to inusre years in a setting. And was surpised with this little piece, how the color actaully opened up. I thought it would be just a scrapper when trimming some of the better pieces down. I hope you all enjoy it, i know i did ;D  |

I've read the recent posts about stabalizing this kind of material.... after stabalizing it is it okay to tumble polish?

Jamie, it was from the slabs. i havent cut the peice i found in the wall yet. I would think it should be fine to tumble polish. But i personally would recemend the control you have with hand polishing. This photo doenst show the shine (becasue i set it up so i get little or no glare), the polish is very nice and on the liqiud side.
