Processing steps
Step Chronology Date Type Process Changes
#1 before layer formation mechanical Manual selection under optical binocular of about 10 matrix fragments of about 50 microns diameter. Matrix selected based on its black color and on its fine-grained texture
#2 during layer formation mechanical Fragments pressed between two diamonds with a mechanical press matrix fragments crushed down to a thickness of about 10 microns
