Hi folks,

    Thanks for the replies so far!  I don't know what they're made of
    but nail sanding sticks seem to work great - I got a nice smooth
    flat surfaces on my turquoise pyramid. Not quite done with it, but
    it is looking good. 

    I have a question about Zam - I started out using green rouge
    because that is what my Grandma used, but I heard/read so many folks
    rave about Zam that I got some. I like the silky smooth finish it
    gives, but is the stuff supposed to be so dry?  Also, I've found
    that if I give a final buff with a chamois or nail buffer the stones
    look even better. 

    Also, thanks Don for the tips on stones.  I knew malachite was soft
    enough to work with, but didn't realize rhodocrosite (etc) was also.
    Cool. 

I love trying new things!
