After the initial grind/rounding cups, I use diamond polishing pads in the following grits: 100, 200, 500, 1000, 3000, 10,000. Then the leather pads with cerium oxide.

Absolutely lovely spheres, Jim! Such attention to detail is always inspiring. Ever work obsidian? We're hoping to do spheres in the future, as soon as all of our other projects make our fortune ... Thanks for the inspiration! Kris
