    remember though like malachite, Rhodochrosite has soft veining,
    unless you are talking about flawless rho. softer belts tend to dig
    the soft stuff 0ut before giving an even finish. the polishing
    agents the Doctor prescribes are fine. For Afgan lapis I have used
    50,000 mesh diamond on pasteboard with great sucess.
