[QUOTE="shivan, post: 306087, member: 194"] Cheers for the info blisters. Have not heard of the aquadhere before it looks interesting. May be a cheaper alternative to opticon. The piece i have seems to show color around the middle more than the top or bottom. I will just be happy if i end up with a small specimen piece but will probably take a slice and maybe have a play with shaping before i treat it. I am not under any illusions with the bit i have, when seeing rocks that were already treated i noticed some showed color a lot better than others and i have no idea what they looked like before being treated. Its more out of interest that i would like to have a play. Plus if i could figure out a decent way to stabilize it would help the gent that gave me the piece as i believe he is just using liquid glass at the moment. [/QUOTE]
