I did a couple more Listwanites today! These two Listwanites are from a different rock and have a completely different pattern!!! I took 3 different pictures, 2 outdoors and 1 indoor: Because these pieces are so little they ended up being a much taller cab than the other low dome rounds I've been doing. But just for fun, here they are stacked together!

Krystee, what polish did you use? Tin Oxide did not work when I made my sphere. Aluminum Oxide from Rockshed did.

Scott,
I use diamond paste up to 50k. On these I only went to 14k. I could have gone higher but I was nervous that it might start to texture.
I haven't tried any of the oxides on my lap yet but am thinking about doing a test with John's Wow AO. It is a .3 micron that supposedly is comparable to cerium. I have it for my vibe tumbler but haven't tried it yet with cabs. Works awesome on obsidian though in the vibe.
