Input?????
how about
that's where I want you to hit me with it !!!
just put me out of my misery

I've been thinking for weeks now about moving to a state with nice rocks so I could try this myself


[

so...... if you're going to cut in in half............. what are you doing with the OTHER half? (hint hint)

Well,
I also got some petrified wood...interesting graining, to see what that looks like and feels like.

Incidentally, i am going to purchase a nice, digital microscope on sunday to see what this stuff looks like up close.

I think im becoming a stone freak or something...Geez!

Thanks y'all,
Mac

Ha! Great minds think alike. My wife and I have an acquaintance here in Modena who owns a crystal and rock store. Yesterday, I went and ordered a piece of yellow jasper in the shape of a bar about 6 inches by 2 (it is available already cut into bars). I'll post of a picture of it (if he comes through) and even order more if anyone's interested.

Nice stone. Good luck with it. I just made one hone out of a piece of rock from Cwm Idwall in N. Wales. It was hard work but fun and now I am looking forward to try it on a razor.

Wow! That's excellent!
Pictures would be great, but hopefully you'll tell us how it works out on the razors.

Thanks,
