Productive Day!

Posted by Bev Darby, Rock n Spheres on 26th Jul 2020

3 Spirit Stones Spheres finished today!  One more to polish tomorrow.  This material is a dream to work up.  Be sure to look at the videos to see the amazing polish it takes.  I was surprised to see it came from the Mayer area which is 30 miles away.  It is all private land so no digging for us.  

I started rough grind on what should be a large Marra Mamba sphere and a small Magnetite and Jade sphere.  I am expecting both will be slow grinds.  The lemon Chrysoprase is finally round, that has seemed like it has taken forever.  Tomorrow it goes to a high speed machine.  I have been working on another Golden Amphibolite.  It is being a problematic child.  It just might need to sit on the shelf of shame for awhile.

In the saws are Wild Horse Pass Jasper (another AZ material) and Red Green Blanket Rhyolite, both are being cubed.  I think I have 1 cut left on an Ocean Breeze and that will be ready for hand grinding.

It has been a busy weekend.  Thanks for reading.....
