Finally got these finished. They all ran about the same time in 60/90 (a long time!), a week or more in 220, same with 500, 3 weeks in prepolish and a bit over 2 weeks in polish. I used different polishes to see which put on a better shine.
This batch was polished with Tin Oxide
On a different background
This batch was polished in SureLuster. Most of these rocks were rocks Marie sent me. Quartz, jasper, agates, Lake Superior agates
On a white background
I think the SureLister put a shinier polish on them. What say you?
I have two more batches running in Borax for 24 hrs. They were polished in the generic polish from my local rock shop and C. Oxide
Will post them when they are finished.
Here are the batches out today. First batch were polished in ghe generic polish from Alamo Rock Shop (no longer in biz)
Different background
The next one done in C. Oxide. This batch has a lot of pits, cracks, etc. in them even after weeks and weeks in 60/90 - but I have a project to use them on where the flaws won't show.
Same batch, purple background
