Took a few minutes to sift a bit from a giant pile of scrap blown glass.
Photo is glass with water sprayed on it.
First in a 3/4" screen to get the stuff small out, then in a 1 inch screen to remove the large stuff.
Then 90 RPM in one dose of SiC 60 for 10 days. About 15 pounds total in 7 pound and 9 pound barrels running together.
Add some sawn BC jade...
Could have spread these little chunks out on 4 - 20 inch shelves in the kiln and melt blobbed them into mini-cabs but was looking for the 'rock' effect.
Next step is SiC 500 in rotary for 10 days, then to vibe for 2 steps, pre-polish and polish.
Lots of clear glass, should look good piled in a clear decanter/vase.
