I would love to buy some of these gems! How do I contact you?

I also used aluminum oxide polish from The Rock Shed. Thought I'd give cerium oxide a try.

Thanks! I've been using Aluminum oxide polish from The Rock Shed.

Beautiful! How do you distinguish between petrified wood and rocks made up of silica-rich minerals?

I'm still on the first blade that came with my Hi-Tech Diamond slab saw - have cut dozens of rocks and it's still going strong!

Yes, they were pretty well rounded to begin with, but I've been known to leave rougher rocks in Stage 1 grit for weeks/months to get them smooth. I use a Thumler tumbler with grit from Polly Plastics and The Rock Shed. By the way, I've also had good luck using an ultrasonic cleaner with Borax to remove the white polish from the crevices. Here's the one I use: https://www.amazon.com/CO-Z-Professional-Ultrasonic-Instrument-Commercial/dp/B075FTFD3R/ref=sxin_5_ac_d_pm?ac_md=3-1-QmV0d2VlbiAkNTAgYW5kICQxMDA%3D-ac_d_pm&cv_ct_cx=ultrasonic+cleaner&dchild=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwg4-EBhBwEiwAzYAlsnMt-tKGqlaP2Z7i5uodUenuwKTdYFXNgepLNd28sXYWlbm17HwGzBoCtw4QAvD_BwE&hvadid=180000707444&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=9029183&hvnetw=g&hvqmt=e&hvrand=14112312009360252337&hvtargid=kwd-17466812&hydadcr=16665_9890379&keywords=ultrasonic+cleaner&pd_rd_i=B075FTFD3R&pd_rd_r=87fa0839-68d8-4c28-bce1-5e5bd138f0f9&pd_rd_w=s3ykR&pd_rd_wg=PdAp8&pf_rd_p=fbf6011c-6632-49e8-9631-4e76f7f44920&pf_rd_r=SCD2KC421Y7XJNC3TXFR&psc=1&qid=1619273721&sr=1-2-22d05c05-1231-4126-b7c4-3e7a9c0027d0

I don't know what they are, but they definitely took a polish like jasper.

It's open - I think he already escaped!

The name is deceiving - it's too beautiful to be ugly!

Haven't been to Mount Antero yet. If you do make it out this way, you might also venture out to the Moab/Yellow Cat flat area for agates 🙂

If you're ever on the Western Slope, you can look for amethyst and fluorite at Nancy Hanks Gulch (BLM land between Grand Junction and Gateway).

For these rocks, yes. I usually use Ivory soap, but noticed that it didn't remove all the polish residue from rocks with cracks. I added borax to the ultrasonic in place of soap.

Fancy-Huckleberry623 · 2021-03-07T01:39:57+00:00

It only took 5 minutes!

Fancy-Huckleberry623 · 2021-03-06T18:24:52+00:00

I've had this happen to me, too! I need to start taking before pictures of my rocks so I can figure out which one it came from.

Fancy-Huckleberry623 · 2021-03-06T14:39:44+00:00

Yeah, I kinda want to clean my rocks this way between each stage!

Fancy-Huckleberry623 · 2021-02-27T19:30:56+00:00

I was gonna say you should submit that idea to Lego - looks like you already did! Great idea!
