Super nice shine for an interesting material. Not all materials take the perfect deep almost liquid shine. You got all the potential out of this set and I bet your coarse grind wasn't a long one.

Like a soft sodalite or such? 6-7 days med. grit, then pre-polish 6 days and final polish took longer 8 days. The stone is pretty soft, I lost some of the patterns but, I wanted a good shine so I wait longer in polish stage. I think I did well for a beginner
