[QUOTE="MegsyB007, post: 519099, member: 13534"] Wow they're good looking samples LW! Love the bright blues in them! I think the brown sets it off really nicely for a bit of contrast though. How to remove the rock? Tricky job without the lapidary set up. Maybe rubbing it on a coarse sandpaper or a metal file, or chipping away at it carefully with a small geologist hammer? Not sure how hard the samples are to handle that one without breaking up though. Labour intensive, but I think I'd try the file first. Good luck! Cheers, Megsy [/QUOTE]
