That actually sounds pretty cool. You should post pictures after it's done, some of the ones on the pages you linked to look pretty cool. Its kind of surprising that "standard" dirt can get so shiny and cool looking.
Maybe I'll have to make one of these to add to the "Trophies" (aka random crap I have around) I keep on top of my desk. At the very least it could be a nice companion to the foil ball I've been making since Valentines Day (much cooler than your standard foil ball, it's hard, smooth and dense, plus I found out how to "seal" it once it started getting too big to wrap the foil around it).
