It’s on the dop now!
In the UK, we’ve got https://www.gemsofeastafrica.com/ who provide trustworthy rough without having to pay huge amounts of intercontinental postage
I have a bit that’s been sitting in my box for a while that I don’t have the guts to cut!
Thanks! For me, my usual “1200 steel, 1200 lightning lap, alox lightning lap” only polished half of the facets (some sort of directional hardness going on). I bought some more intermediary diamon lightning laps and that fixed the issue.
Amazing! I’ve got a moissanite I’ve been keeping for a special occasion- how do you find it vs something like sapphire?
Hahahaa yissss
“Fat girdle habit” is a great name for a band
Really good job! I’m just about to dop some synthetic red-pink sapphire, and it’ll be the first corundum I’ve done in a year - wish me luck!
It do be like that sometimes. You did a good job, considering!
This is what we call The Good Stuff. Amazing job
Thanks! I deffo recommend it. Certainly a step up in stone quality from the usual gem-shop bins I dig through for rough!
It really is!
