Hi All This is the first heart of hopefully a productive season. Its only about the size of a penny- so its small pendant the picture may be deceiving- showing it lager than it is a serpentinish/sodalite combo happy with the polish --it shine pretty fine thanks for the peaking Ed

That's a pretty little heart Ed! When I make cabs that small it usually shows on my fingernails.

Thanks Mike, Mossy, Chuck & Deb!
Yep these little ones polish my fingernails! Ha Ha About small as I can get with out using a dop stick
I’m going to concentrate on smaller hearts. Perhaps that will be a key to more appeal? Ya know for us rock polisher having our pendants worn is the goal. Not really from a marketing perspective just trying to create something appealing.
I see the need for more equipment. That the way it is with grinding. Always need one more thing to be productive. But we also learn to do-- with the resources we have
Anyway mastering the heart shape and my shine is really improving which keeps heartly enthused to see where I can take this.
Thanks again. Comments keep me stoked!

Hear the other side the blue wasn’t quite as concentrated and the crystallization sort of pitted. Always two sides to every heart
