[Rockhounds] stabilizing thompsonite/chlorastrolite

[Nick & Brenda Van Dyke]

Can anyone tell me if it is possible, or even feasible to stabilize
thompsonite and/or chlorastrolite?

My husband and I have a lovely thompsonite piece that we collected in
Minnesota and chip, chip, chipped out of the rock and then polished, but it
has fractures that worry me.

We also have a few "greenstones" that I wonder if could be helped by some
method of stabilization.
