Threw in some agatized coral fingers just to see what would come out.
These just came out of 500 grit. Might do prepolish with tripoli & that would be it. I think they look fine just the way they are, might try for just a little more shine. The solid looking one has a lot of sparkle to it.

Thanks for looking - Donnie

How big are they? Susan

The top right one reminds me of an old shoe with toe and ankle bones in it. Or maybe I've stayed up too late and am seeing things. Don

I love the satin texture of prepolish, it feels so nice in the hands. Lovely batch (:

I don't think I have ever seen agatized coral. Would love to see more photos after the polishing!
