Because of the
varying hardness of the crystaline formations and metallic areas, bronzite can
be a challenge to cut. It must be sanded with fine grits to avoid tearout and
care must be taken to avoid undercutting. The careful cutter will be rewarded
with unusual and beautiful cabochons. Bronzite polishes with tin oxide or diamond.
Mohs hardness 5 to 6.
