Well i only bought this stuff to help a guy clear out his collection.. The Rhodonite cost $15 The Petrified wood cost $45 I will polish up the petrified wood on the end it is cut on as its bad for lapidary, Not sure about the Rhodonite what i will do besides make at least 2 things from it.   |

Arizona "Rainbow" Wood. Chances are, from Holdbrook, Arizona or nearby. That will make a lovely cheese board. As for the Rhodonite, about the right size for a pate board if you square it up.

 Polished the cut side of that wood up... Its hard polishing with a 1 speed angle grinder... I need a variable speed grinder. Its so shiny I can see my face in it! Has a 10,000 grit polish... If i had a variable speed grinder i would re polish it. |

That's some purdy wood! I would make some earring pairs from the pink parts of the rhodonite. They don't always to have to have black in them. Lots of people just like pink stones.

Yeah, I have a little bit of other pink material I found before I had the saw... I broke most of it up for tumbling but I think I have a piece i can cut.

Your pet wood sure is pretty after you gave it a good shine, glennz01!  |
