Hi Bikerrandy,
I was curious if you could share your polish method with the opal stone you cabbed. I have some I want to try for beginner cabbing and would love to know how you finished it so shinny. Thanks Randy, Matt

Matt, I used a Genie cabbing machine for all of my cabs. The final polish is from the canvas pad and 14,000 diamond paste that the machine comes with at the time of purchase. I replenish all of my supplies for it through Johnjsgems.

Alisha- great pics darlin, damn I'm old! ;D lol.... That's some beautiful rough you have, do you have the means to slab it? Haha... I still haven't slabbed it yet. My fianceé, Matt, asked around at the granite sheds and they didn't have a smaller saw, so I've been holding onto it. I have enough smaller rocks to keep me busy now, so it's just sitting

She'd "love" it to death (shattered rock) if I'd left it there. Cats and their silly sense of entitlement Of course, I'm sure she thinks the same about me: Silly human, bringing new things into MY house and then telling me I can't use them. Another one here for "Team Dogs," if you hadn't noticed... LOL

LOL, I understand why you hid it from Fluffy, Alisha. Max kitteh has to investigate the rocks and whatever I'm doing on the cabbing machine, lol. He used to sit behind me when I cabbed sitting on a barstool, but had to change chairs.
