Experiment with intaglio #1

[gargoyal3]

I made the cuts deeper and then washed it well after I took this photo. I am pleased with it, but also annoyed, the other two cabs I got are carnelian and bloodstone. They are both harder than my tungsten dremel bit. Now I must find/order a diamond one

coolness!

Have you considered using the clear glass ones?

I know clear quartz was used as magnifiers and embellishments in some Norse burials....

Did the Norse have hematite or black onyx?
