    Here are a couple of web sites that can help
    http://www.rockngem.com/ http://www.lapidaryjournal.com 

    http://www.worldofrocks.com 

    They should give you a starting point for locating what you are
    locking for. http://www.dickblick.com 

    Used to have some solid brick shaped pieces for sale as starting
    point for small sculpture. 

    You are right that the hardness is such that you can work it with
    regular chisels and cut it with a hacksaw. or with the hardest type
    one of those carbide hacksaw blades. 

    the wear would only be a factor if it would be rubbing up against
    something all the time. 

glen, been there and broke it!
