A couple days ago, I posted pictures of the pudding stones and Petoskey stones we collected. You may remember one Petoskey stone really stood out to me:  Untitled by jugglerguy, on Flickr I polished it up and wasnt' disappointed with the results. I think it's the best Petoskey stone my son or I have polished, and it wasn't even from Petoskey!  Untitled by jugglerguy, on Flickr |

Great stuff. How'd you polish it?

I have a flat lap that I polish them on. I use 60, 120. 220, 600, then a really old, worn out 320 that acts like something finer than 600, then Zam.

Too soft for tumbling, I'm betting?

That's right, you can't tumble Petoskey stones. They do ok until you get to the finer grits or polish from what I've read. I do them on a flat lap.
