Moonstone just seems to lend itselk to cracks and flaws. Did you use pellets? They look a bit knocked around, but very pretty non the less. cookie

They always seem to come in somewhere but I see quite a few in there that really look great. Cher

Those are really nice. I love the colours

I saw some for sale a while back but didnt know what they looked like polished - think I may buy some now.

BTW: Can anyone tell me what rainbow moonstone looks like polished - is it much different?

Kim, I started with about eight pounds or so. More came out, but what you see in the pics are about three pounds. I ordered the rough from Kingsley North. Condor
