Cut this one yesterday and got it polished today. It is about 5 inches in diameter. I don't have a clue where it came from. Wife bought it home and wanted me to cut it for a friend and it looked good enough to polish so I did! lol
I have a large,30", flap lap. Start with that to get saw marks out. then use a bull wheel with 100 grit paper, then 220, and lastly 400 grit. then it is off to my 24 in polisher.
My lap in action. I do have to rotate the rocks from time to time. hopefully the video will show up. I have to get moving, will check back in a few hours!
