Thanks Brian ! Here my Sunday grind results Not sure if I'm slow mohs or if the rock is just hard? I got a good 4 hour grind time into these stones. But they measure 21/2" across so they are big hearts 1 side done on both and the other side is roughed out & ready for grind/ polish & final shaping. Now I'm off to don Jose so they are going to have to wait another day Hope all is doing what you like Ed

Happy Sunday! I can't believe how fast this Thanksgiving break is grinding away ! Goes fast but I just got 4 angel wings pre-formed & grooved ready for epoxy !
But alas 1 on the birthstone hearts I epoxied up yesterday heart needs to be broke in half!
bad alignment on the pre-drilled hole this is a problem when the slabs are not the thickness I really flat lap on that half to bring the thickness down obviously not enough
so I have to break a heart and mend it again o yes I can
enjoy even if don't stop by say hi

Hi guys I'm on lapis kick! Well first I had to score a piece $300.00 a pound at the bead shop I wanted lazuli! Not a bankruptcy! So I went out early to RockAzona! $45.00 a pound! My eyes are bigger than my wallet I bought small nugget. So cutting it was almost a disaster It crumbled But I got big enough piece to grind down to a wing I also bought some opalize wood. White! I hopes it will emulate pearl. Crafting birthstone heart for June/September Thanks for reading the lapis diaries back to the grind mohs
