The Pits.

Posted by Bev Darby, Rock n Spheres on 17th Jul 2018

If you are wondering why there has not been any new material posted yet this month, it is because of "The Pits".  It seems as tho I have been working an incredibly large number of materials with them.  You just never know when a batch of "The Pits" are going to show up making you go all the way back to the beginning in attempts to grind them away.  So far it has been a one step forward, 2 steps back kind of month.  Grrrrr.

So today I have 2 Golden Amphibolite spheres working.  One I thought was ready for 1200 diamond is now back on 220.  "The Pits."  The other is still on 60 rough grind is taking a long time to get round.  Then there are 2 Indonesian Petrified Palm spheres, both are on rough grind.  Both are very slow grinds and are not far enough along to know if they have pits.\

The list waiting for high speed machine time is just too long to mention.  Most have been on there at least once and were removed because they needed to go back to the beginning for pits.  It really does slow me down when I have to go back and forth like this.  Some I should just box for now......

Thanks for reading......
