I'd say first you've got to go up to 14,000. I get a mirror polish with tin on felt but it needs to be a little dryer, moist not wet, so the wheel gives a little pull on the stone as you polish. It will heat which is good but don't let it get really hot or it will break. So, just hold it there for a few seconds than take it off to let it cool and repeat till glassy. Tim

yep! you want to go to 14,000 and have it dry enough so there is slight drag when you are polishing it, use a light touch and do not push the cab into your disc. I find the tin oxide with a mix of water/dish soap and a little oil is best on my felt disc. If you have had a heavy hand on the last stage you will see the scratches show up!
I dop my obsidian to help with the last and final polish as they do get hot and are hard to hang onto with the oil/water/soap/ base to the tin oxide mix

Hi Roy,
I find that with the glass type material (obsidian, goldstone etc...) I get a mirror polish by using a felt bur on a dremel with 20k and 50k diamond paste. Primitive, but gets the job done nicely. I spend about 5 minutes with each grit on the lowest rpm and can see my reflection in it when finished. ~Krystee
