Dear friends,

    I want to know the name of the tool used for picking stones when
    preparing the hole for setting it. I looked at a Spanish book
    written by Carles Codina and they called it "palillo" and it is some
    kind of metal piece to with some soft wax ? with charcoal powder
    covering it in some kind of pear form. It is used to pick or handle
    the stones, diamonds etc. by the " table ". I find this tool very
    useful but would also like to know how to do it and what kind of wax
    could be used. 

Thanks to all,
Thor Hedderich
