Sorry, I must have missed this before. Yes, I am a fan. Unfortunately/fortunately, however you look at it, I haven't had a chance to use it much recently from getting distracted by other pretty rocks. Interestingly, all of which are more polishers that finishers including the nephrite. I've been most recently distracted by a Canadian novaculite as they bill it from Royal Flint Abrasives out of Red Deer. They are easy people to buy from and have great customer service.

Here's a couple of pics since, "if there's no pic it didn't happen."

I've read about these before, would be very interested to hear what you think...

Fine enough to use as a finisher? Or more of a knife stone? Certainly very cool looking, like some of those really funky coloured soft arks.
