I knew better, but was in a hurry and paid for it.
Had spent over 10 hours of Dremel and sand paper work on these. Then over 1 month of tumbling to get to cleaning prior to 1200 pre-polish.
Color is a little off on the upper one, as it is somewhat purple, but not Amethyst. No clue what it is.
My instincts tell me to save the purple one for when I have metal smithing equipment and do a setting that includes both. It would need further shaping and polishing.
The lower one, I can make into two pendants with glued on bails.
Biggest question, is should I use the Dremel to do more shaping on the break of the lower one? Then throw into tumbler and see what happens? Do all polishing with Dremel? Wait a couple months until I have a cab machine?
Thanks
