All lookin' good, Kim, especially the malachite, az agate, red/white, the condor . . .
How did you polish these? I see on the other thread where you weren't too thrilled with the diamond paste. Or is it just with certain kinds of rock?

rich when i purchased my genie i had nothing to compare it with until sands posted a picture of his genie. his last wheel was different than mine. mine jumps from the 1200 wheel to a 14000 wheel. sands goes from 1200 to 3000. when sands was here i could run over and use his 3000 wheel then go to my 14000. so i'm missing a step. stoner is working on an arbor for me and i will put a 3000 wheel on it to add this step but for now i have to work to compensate for the jump.

Really like them. I especially dig the red and white jasper - looks like a shield with a lightening bolt.

my top wheel is also a 3000 grit. i sometimes use the 14000 diamond paste and the canvas lap on the end of the Genie to give a final buff polish. those are all super, Kim, love that Regency Plume!

The red/white one really POPS! They're all great, but the red/white one does it for me.

The red/white one and the luna stand out for me. Love them all, but those two take the cake. Beautiful cabs!

kd that regency rose is big. it needs to be a belt buckle but i don't know how to do that.
stefan i can't do those flats like he does. i'm still worrying with scratches with the domes!
goofie if my cousin hadn't already claimed that one i would send it to you. it was from a preform bearcreek offered on ebay. he had some fine material.
