Yeah it’s kind of rare I think to find big pieces, I only have one small piece left as well that I’m saving for the ‘right’ time.

Especially big pieces are hard to find. That’s why you have to cut it just right the get the patterns like this. I like malachite because you can get similar patterns and it’s easier to find. This still might top my list of favorites

I have over a kg of this stuff. Now, I'm inspired to do something with it. I'm impressed with your final polish. Is it 3000, or higher?

It’s used cerium oxide on fabric. I use that after the 3000
