[QUOTE="Lefty, post: 343724, member: 2976"] Hi shakergt. Sounds like you don't have lapidary equipment at home? If you have a lapidary club in your local area they have everything you need here but you would probably need to join up to be allowed to use it. Like shivan says, they would have the rock saws for cutting slabs of the material, which you can then polish the face of on a flat lap or mark out to cut cabochons. Cabochon cutting is not difficult to learn but does take some practice - experiment on a few bits of stuff other than good chrysophrase first. [/QUOTE]
