This is one of my photos that actually came out decent for once. The background is a mineral called rhodochrosite. (Ok so I collect rocks too)

Gus,
Nice knife! I was wondering if rhodochrosite could be used as a handle material for custom knives?
JOCKO
 
I have had a couple of makers say the stuff is too brittle and I agreed. The other day I had some email from a guy who makes kit knives and has added rhodochrosite as a handle. The knife came out nice by the pic.
I am still trying to find someone who might be interested in using it as a handle for a full custom.

It really is a beautiful mineral the slab in the picture is 1/2 an inch thick and translucent. It also can be found in crystaline form (cubic mostly) and can form a layer on a quartz matrix.
