[QUOTE="kawman, post: 90692, member: 917"] I have been looking at this stone and a piece of quartz will not scratch it... I am waiting on a piece of tourmaline to arrive to scratch test it with.. When I get all three stones I will take them to my mates paint buis.. he has some seriously good scales ( these rocks are fairly heavy for my small set and may not be accurate) this is turning out to be a big learning thing for me about hardness and SG.. It goes on..... Trying to work out what the stone really is is taking a lot of research.. good fun :) [/QUOTE]
