[QUOTE="Lefty, post: 109947, member: 2976"] Wow! Some bloody nice stuff there :) Definate inspation material. Which is good because our president is going to start teaching me silversmithing. I've learned the basics of shaping stone, it's about time I started to learn how to turn them into actual jewellery. She also suggested using cerium oxide as a polish for malachite. I wouldn't have thought of trying it myself after what the tin oxide did to other soft stone but I gave it a go and it polished up beautifully! I didn't finish it because I came home from the club early with a whopping headache but I have cerium here at home so I'll finish it tonight. [/QUOTE]
