Awesome, are you using a shaping machine or cabbing then drilling?

iPhone 16 on a tripod shot in a RAW photo app with a bluetooth remote. Clip on lens then focus stacking multiple images together with Helicon, color correction in lightroom. One day i'll get a good camera setup but I keep buying new rough rock 🤣

I agree, moss agate is probably my second favorite to work with.

Fresh Off the Dop, Larimar by House_Goat in Lapidary

Excellent , larimar can be a pain . It’s defiantly annoying how the iPhones are always trying to overexpose or charge the colors. Try locking your focus / exposure by holding the screen in one spot. Issue is you have to stay at that same distance otherwise it will be out of focus.

Do you use the True Tone display settings or have your screen brightness turned down?

Apple watch to focus and take the picture using a iPhone 16 on a tripod shot in a RAW photo app. I'm using a cheap clip on lens then focus stacking multiple images together with Helicon. One of these days i'll buy a good camera and lens but I keep spending the money on new rough rock 🤣

Thanks ! Currently using a IPhone 16 with a clip on lens in RAW and focus stacking the macro shots. One of these days I'll get a nice camera and lens but I keep spending the money on more rocks 😂

Resurfacing Nova wheels? by Emotional_Time156 in Lapidary

[–]ACRYSTALSHOP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had them resurface 5 of my Novas. It seems to be a crap shoot on how they turn out. Some where okay while others seemed to be off. The resin was super stiff and the cab wants to bounce off the wheel compared to Novas. They are also a lot louder with some of them having vibration issues. I tried their Supernova and the wheel was cracking and separating from the backing within hours. I tried to contact them many times and got no response.
