Magnetite In Jade
Posted by Bev Darby, Rock n Spheres on 1st Jul 2020
I did it! Yesterday was filled with working only the Magnetite in Jade Sphere. What patience it required. 7 hours later I was finished.
The only machine running, the hours were filled with running the high speed machine for 5 minutes and then stopping and checking the temperature of the sphere. Since the Magnetite gets hotter than the Jade I had been having issues with it popping out of the jade due to the differences in the expansion rate when heated. I was determined not to be beaten!
The photos do not show the polish the Magnetite took and the Jade appears more green. Best I could do with my poor photographing skills.
Thanks for reading......
