Very pretty cabs! Between the first and second, I can't decide which is my favorite.

Nice stones! Number two rings my bell. I've cut a fair amount of Tiffany and have had no problems with undercutting, but it's a rock, not a mineral. Since it's a mixture of minerals there are bound to be pieces with varying hardness, especially since it occurs in so many different colors/types.

Since it's a mixture of minerals there are bound to be pieces with varying hardness, especially since it occurs in so many different colors/types. Thanks Rick. I cut several cabs a year ago from some very solid, old stock material and got a glass polish. Then I bought a chunk of new material from eBay which was junk. This slab was old stock too, but like you said, itโs a rock not a mineral. Some of the peach colored areas were really soft, some was agate hard. It was a good exercise in polishing! |

I've had undercutting issues, on the darkest purple area of the piece I was working with. It had a patchy shine when I was done too. Still gorgeous though, nice job.

Some Tiffany, indeed.
I really like working with that stuff, even though it presents challenges and doesn't necessarily take the best polish. But it is beautiful, nice work!
