Geology, Palaeontology & Archaeology / How to turn powdered rock into hard, solid rock?
« on: 22/07/2020 03:05:52 »
Hi,
I am currently working on an art project and I need some advice
I have a bunch of rocks/crystals that I have crushed into a fine powder. The goal is to use that powder and shape/mould it to create various different things. I want to be able to shape this powder into any form and let it cure so that it hardens and becomes a rock solid object.
I do not how exactly to go about this. What substance I might need to mix with the powder or what techniques I need to use. I feel like there might be a few different methods to achieve the result I am looking for. So I am hoping someone from this community can provide a solution.
I have attached a photo of the desired end product.
