Nice job Clint. I am attempting to cut some Malachite myself, but I am having problems with scratches and flats. It is mighty soft stuff, I am thinking about working it by hand.

Rather than working by hand, have you tried working it on worn wheels? I love the stuff myself, other than the nuisance of the extra health precautions I have to take.

I think that it is really pretty and I will find a way of working it. I cut on an Ameritool. Still I am thinking of getting the rough shape cut out and domed and then sanding by hand.
