After the initial grind/rounding cups, I use diamond polishing pads in the following grits: 100, 200, 500, 1000, 3000, 10,000. Then the leather pads with cerium oxide.

Absolutely lovely spheres, Jim! Such attention to detail is always inspiring. Ever work obsidian? :cheesy: :cheesy: :cheesy:
We're hoping to do spheres in the future, as soon as all of our other projects make our fortune ... Thanks for the inspiration!
