I’m more than pleased. It was just what I needed. Thank you so much I even have my fire agates at hand. they’ve been sitting around for about a year and I didnt really know how to work them. I was insecure and afraid to damage them. But reading your tutorial gave me more confidence. It shows the stages of polishing, all the tools in detail (PLUS the helpful links) I need to succeed. I’ve asked friends on fb before on how they work their rocks, they tried to explain, but it is always better to actually SEE how its done. Wooohooo! Just perfect!

Thank You for the PDF. Awesome!!!!!You know, I haven’t found anything online yet that describes the “right” tools for this type of work Lots of stuff online about using a Dremmel.. etc etc.

We have everything except the sanding tips…. Where do I go to get them? I have looked at many different sites and Hardware stores but have only found steel bits. Even my favourite Rock shop doesn’t know where to find them?

We have a “rare” stable Black Opal limb cast that the Mrs cleaned off all the casting but we are waiting to find the polishing (sanding) bits.

Greatly Appreciated. Thank You for your help.
