Some of the halves I got to polish them by hand. From 60 grit to 2500 (highest available to me) These tell such a fascinating tale, from creation to changes in the environment. Polished the next half. It's got a lovely calcite point

Actually, it's coated in an iron residue in the quartz. I actually really like it. It give it this lovely history

Super nice! The crystals in the third are like ice. How long does it take to polish these?
