Thank you for the extra tip on 'not wanting to wait the extra 8 weeks' for the tumbler and for telling us how to do it alternatively!

Liz, you did fantastic job on bringing out the graceful flow of the banding and that shape is a perfect fit! Very nicely done, Thank you.

When I was 5 or 6, my family moved to a new house, and a small rock collection came with it. Me, being five, kept it outside and let the rose quartz true white in the sun. What I would give to have that collection in good quality today.

Tsubaki Star I don't know if you have ever seen a bone saw (or the saws they use to cut casts off after broken bones), but this is the same principle. It doesn't actually cut the stone, it abrades it. So you are basically sanding it in half with tiny diamond (or silicon carbide). :)

You Aussies actually make a lot of very cool things. Australia has a substantial jewelry industry and a substantial gem mining industry and related industries. One day I hope to go Rock collecting in Australia.
