There are just those times when it gets frustrating.  Yesterday was one of those times.  I had finished 2 fluorite spheres and had taken their still photos.  When I started to crop the photos all these scratches showed up on the enlarged pictures.  I got out the magnifying glass, didn't see anything.  Went back to the pictures I had taken and there they were.  So back they go to 400 diamond.  I have since tossed all the polish that I had been using and have washed everything thoroughly.  We will see how it goes this time around.

I need to start thinking of what to pack for the West Coast Gem and Mineral show this coming weekend.  Making the wrong decisions can break your show.  I have a lot of room in that I have a hotel room.  I still can not fit everything I have in inventory.   Such decisions!   

The final saw is up and running.  So far so good.  Need to get slabbing so I am ready for the next 4 Arizona shows.  They do like to cab in Arizona.  Today will be the test to see if it can handle a full day of running.  I will cross my fingers.
