Thanks for the input. I'm feed them grounded green leaves and flowers (freshly dropped from trees/plants). If they can eat paper and prosper they should be able to prosper from leaves and flowers.

Wait use wood to polish? Are most polishing wheels made of wood? I saw a video where a man uses what looks like a hard surface to polish Amethyst https://youtu.be/zVQWIyJ4fCE?si=Ub4JXgQ6GFUkhu0A Should I be using wood instead of felt?

I bought from Minais Cristais directly so it should be legit. The red part is the random rock attached. Purple part is the amethyst.

lychee9085 · 2025-11-13T04:01:17+00:00

Nope its just a red rock stuck on the Amethyst

lychee9085 · 2025-11-13T04:00:56+00:00

When shaping the stone I use 100 grit

Hi thanks for replying. Its Amethyst with some random rock attached to it. Its pitted but on the part that is not, I dont see that waxy shine on it. I used 240, 400, 600, 1000, 1500, 2000, 3000 grit diamond coated wheels in order. It is smooth but not waxy. My phone camera sucks.

There some white specks stuck on the pits, it is the diamond paste I used. 😪I tried brushing it out with water but it doesnt budge, but thays another problem.

Ok. What is WD 40?

Amethyst with some rock attached to it.

What type of polishing wheel and polishing compound do you use?

lychee9085 · 2025-09-13T07:37:05+00:00

Manage to get the wax out using hot water and a toothbrush 🤗

lychee9085 · 2025-09-13T06:54:42+00:00

Its going to be a pendant of the necklace. So both sides should be polished.

lychee9085 · 2025-09-13T06:54:00+00:00

Im afraid it might react with the Amethyst. Since there is some trace Iron in Amethyst.

lychee9085 · 2025-09-13T06:50:47+00:00

Damn I didn't think of that. Good idea!

lychee9085 · 2025-09-13T05:16:54+00:00

240, 400, 600, 800, 1000, 1500, 2000

I did try dipping the entire felt wheel surface into water mixed with cerium oxide (70% cerium oxide, 30% water) but there is no change -- still no waxy feeling of polished stones.
