I got this from Tela, we're thinking it's verdite. I love the green color. It was kind of funny, I'm used to grinding on agates and jaspers with my dremel and when I started on this it was like grinding plastic! I think I had the whole thing shaped in 15 minutes and now I'm trying to figure out how to polish it once I get the scratch in the bottom removed. Not sure if you can put this stuff in a rotary or not, I've never worked with anything this soft.  Thanks for looking.  |

Looking good! I've seen some of your latest projects, I think this is my favourite so far. |

I may have to hand polish it sometime I don't know how it would behave in a rotary. Still have two more pieces of it maybe I'll try to get more creative with them. |

Looks like this material is a bit more malleable with a dremel because it's soft. I'm looking forward to the next cabs!

Wondering. What if you made your own Polishing medium to use with Dremel? My latest experiment was mixing Rapid Polish and grape seed oil. Used that with felt pad on the Dremel. Worked out great.
