Wonderful:) Great patterns. I have had the strangest week and I have to kinda look at everything from an angle or my eyes wont focus but I love it:)

Great looking cab, Christopher .... I didn't even know you could get Fordite anymore. Must cost a bunch to obtain. |

It's very pretty. What did you think about working with the material?

Gina,
This material cuts easily like turquoise or rhodochrosite. It did not take much to get an average polish but I think I am going to try some Turtle Wax as suggested to me by someone on another board.
I thought this material might clog up my wheels but that just was not the case. I was like any or soft material.

ZAM works fine...hit it with 50000 after Zam .
Cerium on canvas works too

On these first two cabs (this one and the one I posted today) I have used cerium on leather and Zamm on cotton finishing like I do on all my other cabs.
I am going to try Turtle Wax as suggested by a friend on another board to see if it will give me that "water" SHINE.
I will let you all know if had any success with this method......you all know...what works for one lapidary doesn't for the other....but....I am always game for new techniques!!!!
