Very nice polish, it even makes the finish on your desk look cleaner.

I was thinking the exact same thing.  Let us know how the balls of stone work out!  ;D

Quarters:

Ultimarc uses a cue ball in the 2 1/4 " trackball. I don't think some stone balls would be much harder to spin. I think a jade ball would look great.

Is that code... or something?  If you're serious, after shipping both ways, it would probably be cheaper just to buy a new trackball.

My father took the pictures.  I think he may not have used the flash on the first one and did on the second.  The reason the desk looks brighter.

The most difficult part of turning a stone sphere for the trackball would be to get it the right size.
