Hey Folks, I had someone give me some quartz crystals with points on them.  I've never dealt with quartz before.  Now I'm a carver/cabber.  I don't facet.  What's the usual way of dealing with these?  Do I just clean them up as is and polish them leaving them with the points?  Do I grind them into cabs?  Or what?

Any good "Craftstool mechanic" ; especially one with a certificate in the mail, wouldn't ever use the tool, it'll just get dirty. LOL
I'd make the crystals shiney and display them... use them for their mystic healing power, or maybe make radios????
Sorry just got up and that's all I could come up with. hide
