Those are nice. Do you cut the backs flat or just look for naturally flat backed rocks?

Good morning
On some of the rock I used a Dremel tool to flatten the back of the rock before going into first stage. On a few others had a natural flat spot.

I also use a lot of the 3/8 magnets from the same seller for smaller rocks . Surprisingly tough little buggers .

I've been using pieces cut from rolls of the magnetic tape sold in many craft departments, granted not as strong as the neo's.

Here's a few I packaged for a friends office bulletin board....No special or intentional "flat" prepping done, just affix the magnet to the flattest side of the polished stone: 
He's requested another 20, so I'm using the same method and materials as the previous + 200 I have gifted to others: 
Outside of the "very special" rolled stones I successfully polished (those we keep), the vast majority gifted have been so popular and appreciated I can't keep up with the demand.........folks still enjoy a pretty polished rock frig magnet...!
