    Hi folks, I picked up some cananea turquoise chunks recently and
    trying to polish it is giving me something of a headache. Apparently
    the bits are not even in density and when I try polishing, I am
    getting some undercutting in the softer streaks. I don't have a well
    equipped shop (just a flex shaft and old grinder) so any low-tech
    solutions to getting a more even surface would be greatly welcomed.
    Thanks!
