========[ Invite a Friend - http://www.ganoksin.com/invite.htm ]======== Greetings, This is my very first attempt to post something - I hope I am doing it right. I just got back from Tucson Gem & Mineral show - wowee!! I had a fantastic time, shopped 'till I dropped, and came home with all sorts of booty. I also attended the Ganoksin banquet, but missed most of the Rio Catalog in Motion as I did not realize that it was 4 days only. Ah well, next year I shall be an old hand!! Among the treasures I brought back were some of those half excavated Moroccan trilobites, the ones with all the odd spikes and antennae, which I thought would be very neat to further extract from the bedrock. Well, I started on one this afternoon, bottom of the learning curve as usual, and after a bit of burring at the rock with my flexshaft, managed to pop off two of the projections on the thing. Now my $25 fossil is a $10 fossil, but that's OK. Does anyone have any experience with cleaning up these things, that they would be willing to share? I wondered about working it wet, but I think it would be too hard to distinguish fossil from bedrock. I would welcome any suggestions Many thanks Shelley Rains ____________________________________________________________________ T h e O r c h i d L i s t Open Electronic Forum for Jewelry Manufacturing Methods and Procedures ____________________________________________________________________ Orchid FAQ: ~ http://www.ganoksin.com/orchid/faq.htm Orchid Archives: ~ http://www.ganoksin.com/orchid/archive Orchid Galleries: ~ http://www.ganoksin.com/orchid/gallery.htm Invite a Friend: ~ http://www.ganoksin.com/invite.htm ____________________________________________________________________ Tips From The Jeweler's Bench - Article Archive ~ http://www.ganoksin.com/borisat/tip_sear.htm The Jeweler's Selected Bibliography List ~ http://www.ganoksin.com/jewelry-books Buy Orchid Jewelry: ~ http://www.ganoksin.com/shop ____________________________________________________________________ -Unsubscribe: -Email: orchid-request AT ganoksin.com Body=unsubscribe subject=blank ____________________________________________________________________ |
