Here is todays progress. I believe they are much improved today. The black one has a mirror image now and the other 2 are improved also. Still having some problems with the Washington jade. The jade with the inclusion seems to give me more trouble but even them are getting better.  |

No spit….I forgot about that. They will be better tomorrow or I will work at it until they are. Thanks gemfeller. I did try this….9 parts chrome oxide and 1 part aluminum oxide with a leather disk. The stone really grab trying it. Probably not enough slurry on the wheel but it was throwing that green crap everywhere, so I stopped. It also seemed to soak into the stone and turned the white crystals a green color. The one in the middle. If the stone was "grabbing it" the polish was cutting aggressively. That's how that works. |
