RockindadThey’re really nice. I hear you about grubby fingers. What really pisses me off is when people throw them back into the container as if they won’t chip. It takes a lot of time to get them to the nice polish you have. Well done and thanks for sharing the photos.

When I hear that hard rock on rock contact it's worse than fingernails on the chalkboard. Al

I feel your pain on the scratched one. It is beautiful.

I feel your pain on the scratched one. It is beautiful. Most likely due to greed. We're trying to get as many smaller pieces to the finish line and even though we pull some troubled ones along the way we could have been more aggressive as we would get some broken ones here and there. Al

Nice batch! Lots of variety and different colors. You got a nice shine on them, too.
You could always manually sand those scratches out of the last one and then it would be perfect.

Nice batch Al! Good colors and contrast. Thanks, it's pretty sweet material. It was a pleasure to run something easier to polish as we tend to run a lot of softer materials. Like the challenge/gluttons for punishment. Al

You are reading my mind. We have silicon carbide sandpaper from another project and plan to just take it down enough to get the scratches out and then put it in the vibe when something similar is running. I like the size of it now (4" x 3" x 2") and don't want to shrink it. Al
