Hello, everyone!
Yesterday I had some time to polish some rocks. I picked some local ones and begun to polish them on their natural surfaces:
a pet wood with outstanding structure (grain):
A piece of agate in rhiolite - this is not my rock, a friend gave it to me asking me to polish one face. I polished two faces, I like the sharpness of the edges between the faces. This one kept sharp:
And this one is the cab, that was intended to be a naturally surfaced polish too. But the rock was pretty small and while working at it I realized its potential as a cab. It's a local rock that I picked in the rockhounding trip a few weeks ago.
Does that cab look to you like the map of the Mediterranean Sea, or is it just me eagerly waiting to leave in vacation? Marika, I can almost spot Cyprus in there!
And here's a pic with the shine:
Thanks for looking,
Adrian
