Hmm.
I have write in my last email that Im in progress of cutting my 1429g
specimen of CD Graphite Nodule.

I start cutting and ........ damn this not work. This piece of graphite with
some veins of iron is hard like......... urelite ? All pieces that I have
cut before was very easy to cut, even my 452g specimen that I have cut
yesterday.

To cut slice in this one I need 20+ minutes. The reason of that cound be
that this nodule is full of nano diamonds ? Anyone have any more experince
in this matter ?
Im very curious what this specimen have inside, becouse on slices I not see
anything unusual.
