This is from some of the coral fingers I have been working on. First I tumbled them, then cut them open. After that I polished them up more & sent them to Vance of Earth Relics to do the 18k gold electroforming on them.

My two favorites

Some I will be doing more work on

Pet wood from papat

Another petwood from one of my earlier tumbles. The purple isn't supposed to be there but it looks kind of cool anyway. Both sides are nice.

A couple of geodes I bought at a local flea market

Dino bone

This is a necklace I did for a friend who needed a birthday present for his sister. Regency Rose done in 14k gold filled wire - necklace is Swarovski crystals, gold-filled beads & Czech fire polished rondelles.

Thanks for looking..........................Donnie

Although all are really nice, I just love that last cab that you did: the scene in it is so nice. Don

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
