I wonder if you'd share how you polished the pietersite so nicely.
I have a couple of small rectangular cabs that I purchased & want to re-shape for earrings to match a pendant- but have been nervous to try.
Any input appreciated. Patty

That rainforest is an EXCELLENT example of the material. Very nice. I love them all! Great work, as usual. You need to post some real duds once in awhile so we won't feel so bad.  |
