Aha! We got one Paipo..!
What are you using to carve with pdrake? Im guessing a handheld angle-grinder or bench grinding wheel..? Larger work can be done this way using special 'dry' concrete-cutting diamond discs (or al.oxide wheels), but for smaller work youre certainly be better off using diamond lapidary wheels/burrs -with water!! Good on you for having a go mate! Is there a local rock-hound/lapidary club in your area? Im sure they could give a demo or a rundown on basics...
Once your rolling with suitable tools, she'll be gone from your head in no time! Good luck, Ill be following your progress! TTT
