Inexpensive Chromium Oxide on eBay
I found this "optical grade" chromium oxide on eBay. Although I'm not using a leather honing strop (yet :hmmm:) I thought some others might find it useful after I ready everything I could on the honing section here and at B&B.
I think that for 1/2 a pound of the stuff, $8.50 plus $6.00 for shipping, is probably pretty reasonable. The seller reports that the grit is .05 micron.

Chromium Oxide link and the info I do and don't have...
Sorry I didn't get back to this thread sooner guys. Here is the email message I received when I asked what was the grit of this Chromium Oxide.
"The grade is optical, I belive it is 0.05 micron, I am not sure. This polish is very good on Jade and turquoise. Thanks for your visit Ed @ R.C.G.

I can vouch for nothing more than this. I just figured, for those looking to get this green gold and maybe distribute it among the those who are interested, this would be an opportunity.:shrug:
