None in or out. I've been lucky I guess

Welll... after some carefully placed chisel blows, a bit of time, bit of courage, bit of pen prep... I give you my work... please call me... The Pyrite Killer !!! Ha

Well done! Courage is certainly necessary. You're always taking a chance, but if you're firm in your resoltion, then it usually pays off like it obviously has here.

Thanks, took a while mind but worth it.

Still not finished but all the bulk removed at least

Well done! Pyrite is some nasty stuff. It turned into a beautiful specimen.

Thanks, at times I thought wasn't gonna work but then a little part would nicely ping off, was a case of chipping away at the right angle constantly.

Fantastic @Crann really pleased for you. Now just wrap it up and send it to me in Manchester. I'll cover the shipping
