7 quid for a rock? On eBay I can buy sapphires for that much!
(And almost the same size too. Anyone got ideas on what to do with 3/4" diameter rubies?)

An experiment for you:
Get some meths and dissolve a bit of bar soap in it. The concoction should gel easily and will burn quite nicely.
It may suit your needs.

Hmm, interesting. Soap flakes would dissolve more easily ...

You may need to heat the meths a bit. So a jug of meths in a pan of warm water. You don't need much soap.
There is a recipe but it is so long since I did it that I have forgotten. Sorry.

Calcium acetate if you must, not soap. You get quite a different end result.
(You really don't want to do this. Ask the earlier poster who confused the stuff with napalm iif he'd care to explain)

I was thinking of using my water bath, safer than a jug in a pan :-)
Hit and miss recipes make for learning.
