	You can stare at a rock for hours and never see the same thing twice.

	No person should ask for more than the moments. They should accept what the rock gods offer and make no demands against the future

no drilling yous a bottle lamp kit from walmart 4.95 a lamp shade dollar genaral 5.00 and epoxy the kind you kneed together fill in the inset on bottom and set in place let it dry you can pickup the rock with the light socket so i think it is going to hold

Thanks Tim

kjk: My first try on Fluorite was about 5 years ago. Pre-shaped rough with dremel then used a 3 # rotary start to finish 90-220-500-TXP polish,all with ceramic fill. Nov 6, 2024 22:06:16 GMT -5

kjk: Second attempt with fluorite, 3# rotary for stages 1 thru 3 with 90-220-700 all with ceramic. Stage 4 TV-5 with 1000 and ceramic. Stage 4 TV-5 with 1200 and corn cob. Looks Gem quality and ready for final polish. Nov 6, 2024 22:11:20 GMT -5

kjk: looking for suggestions on final polish for Fluorite. Been sitting on these gems for a while because I don't want to bust them up like my first try. Have been leaning towards TV-5 with #61 Rapid Polish, ceramic, 1/2 cup water, TV-5 approx 60v (1/2 speed) Nov 6, 2024 22:21:39 GMT -5
