[Jewelry making - Article 00176] - [Orchid] Stabalizing fish fossils

    One of my neighbors is building a house and using fish fossils to
    line one the walls in a room.  I recieved a few "extra" little guys
    to see if I could use them in jewlery.  The matrix is very soft, I
    can scratch it with my fingernail.  Any suggestions on how to make it
    harder (maybe something like Opticon) without making the little
    fishies disappear? 

    I wish I could be in Tuscon right now with you all, but I can't get
    there until Monday ;(  .  Have a wonderful Orchid Dinner!  If any of
    you are still in town, come see me at the TGMS show in the arena
    section.
