My home built spins 600rpm but it has a 3/4hp motor so not much slows it down. It cuts fairly quick with the 100 grit on.

I always just go with: Agate - light goes through it Jasper - light does not go through it and not white, grey or brown Chert - light does not go through it and it is white, grey or brown So far no one has said I'm wrong with this complex system so I'm sticking to it.

Super shine. I have always wanted to get over to that side of Canada. I know what I'll be looking for when I do someday.

Looks like you guys had a great time. I'm sooo envious of your lack of snow.

Really nice stone. I agree with you, there is nothing harder than taking pictures of a faceted stone. You did a good job though.

Great job on the cabs Amber. That lapis is great. You should try some super glue on the fractures in your local stuff. It really helps. Just put a layer on and let it dry before your final grit and polish.
