OK, now that you are done laughing, this was a great accomplishment for me.
Did a mixed batch of hard and softer rocks/cabs in rotary. 60/80 grit. Let them run for 12 days. No cushioning media.
Had specific goals in mind for the softer ones.
I had slightly shaped, girdled and slightly domed this cab with dremel, whetstone and files.
The goal for this one was to take off some of the rough spots, while maintaining what I had done. A bonus would be for some undercutting of the black areas to provide texture. I had see a cab Tela rockjunquie achieved this with in a vibe.
I also wanted to maintain the druzy pocket.
It worked!
The photos do not show much of the undercutting, but it is there in places.
It is now in a bag of water waiting for me to decide what's next. I am thinking to wait until I have a batch ready to go in 1200 AO.
Also, if anyone can provide an ID for this I would appreciate it. Was in a mixed box I purchased from Diane, drocknut
Hardness is about 6-6.5.
Thanks.
The flat back is first. Then some other views:
