I always thought Listwanite had Mariposite as part of it's makeup but was a harder more silicified stone. The Mariposite I've collected is mixed hardness but still pretty soft stuff and I'd kill to be able to get a polish on it as nice as on that sphere.....Mel I had (gifted to a friend) a 4" example and it polished the same. I used tin oxide. Both listwanite and mariposite were pretty soft. Softer than marble. Unless there were quartz stringers. I was careful to not over grind and successfully avoided undercutting on that one. |
