Figured I might as well try my hand at this while I'm at it Ali, just remember this stuff is crazy messy to cut. Where old clothes you don't care about or an apron because the iron stone stains. If you're going to use your Dremel, where some gloves, too. It will stain your fingernails and once it gets under them, it's basically impossible to get out. It just has to kind of wear off.
Good luck!

A fire agate tip: Sometime some judicious side of the stone grinding will reveal the number of layers and order of colors, allowing you to sand to the colors you prefer. SOMETIMES!

Taking on this one I love the heart shape so much! looks like the color layer is right on top on this one. Go delicately. if it were mine, I think I'd start with 325g diamond paste and bristle brushes.
