[QUOTE="Lefty, post: 124931, member: 2976"] Found a bit of turquoise among grandad's old rock display. A nice, duck egg blue colour but a pretty bloody thin piece. Too thin to do a decent sized cab. Hoping and praying it didn't break, I worked it down flat and put it in a bezel cup. Seems to have worked ok. This is the second bit of the stuff I have worked on. Not only is it a different, lighter shade than the other piece, it is noticabley [i]harder[/i] as well. I think the other bit would probably have cracked if I tried to do something this thin with it but this bit seems to have stood up well.
