[QUOTE="xcvator, post: 417599, member: 8322"] A couple of years ago we visited the Zebra Rock mine in the NT and came away with this piece [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/8322/1529024325_img_20180615_103224.jpg[/img] [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/8322/1529024325_img_20180615_103241.jpg[/img] [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/8322/1529024325_img_20180615_103314.jpg[/img] [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/8322/1529024325_img_20180615_103320.jpg[/img] It's about 160hx150x60 At the time they showed us how to polish it with, I think, "wet'n'dry" ? sandpaper and then apply some sort of sealant so you could always see the patterns. Also what would you cut it with, would an angle grinder with a stone cutting disk be ok, I do remember them telling us that they never knew just what would happen if they tried to just split it cheers Keith [/QUOTE]
