Thanks Kreigh!  But good heavens, what an expensive and cumbersome 
system!  This grinds to amazingly small sizes, too small for me!, but 
I'm sure somewhere there is one that produces the 100-300 micron sizes. 
  Perhaps a smaller version of something like what this company sells; 
now I know the direction to keep looking.

It occurred to me that I can call the Swiss Jewel Co. and ask how they 
do it, or even if they'll do a run of other minerals for me... they were 
nice enough to sell me just a few jewels when other companies won't, so 
perhaps they'll be helpful.

Thanks,
Don
