I have been working with this for over 2 months now, and I think this is as good as it is going to get.
This is Autmn Jasper I got from Redwoodrocks and WilliamC.
(Where is WilliamC?)
Following the RTH SOP's as posted by James, many moons ago, I was sure that Titanium Oxide would work great. So sure in fact that I told KD to use it and the results would astound her. But after running these for 7 days in Titanium, I was a little dissappointed in the results.
I usually have to only run it 4 or 5 days following the 1000 grit cycle.
Two problems were evident.
1. I had too many other types of rocks in the load and 2. these were a mixed hardness even within themselves.
So backing up I put them in Tin Oxide fo 7 days, which seems to work well for softer stones.
Not sure whether to continue to persue this or just leave well enough alone.
You be the judge(s) and judge(ette's).
The one stone I tried to get a close up on looks like a cave with water flowing out (or in) to it.
Thanks-

, about half of my rocks are in their 3rd week of 60/90, the other half is on the pre-polish step. They are just common rocks that I found myself so I'm not expecting to get anything as beautiful as your work. I'm actually really curious to see how my common rocks will look at the end. I enjoyed looking at your pics!
