Holy cow...those are NICE! I especially like your favorite and the ammy. Is the big one on the right a shell of some sort?

Awesome job on the cabs; you got a super shine. Boxes from Jamie are always a treat. I like the shape of the stone you did up for your ring. You got a real nice shine on the wampum too

Wow the shine you got is perfect. I love that chevron amethyst, very very pretty. Is that a piece of pietersite on the right in the 4th pic?

I sent you that? Oops, made a mistake.......Please send it back!
Just kidding, I can't believe the shine on those stones, you did an excellent job. What did you finish them off with?

Superb Shine! I've been fortunate enough to be on the recieving end of both Jamie and Spiritstone. They are both generous and have some terrific rocks. Steve

Jamie. the ones that fell into the hard category i Polish with 50.000 mesh diamond. on a canvas pad. the soft ones. first i tried chrome oxide on a felt pad. the first one undercut real bad. so i went to zam on a med buff. for me that works the best on soft stones and shells
