【Polishing Instructions】
*For more detailed and easy-to-understand instructions, please watch the video.

1. After soaking the stone in water,

first, polish it with a diamond file. There is no functional difference in polishing surface between the diamond files (white) and (red). The (white) file has a wider surface, making it easier for children to use. Please use it when you want to remove a lot of material. The (red) file is recommended when you want to polish fine surfaces.

2. Fix the waterproof sandpaper to the wooden binder and polish the stone in a circular motion ("no" character) while keeping it wet. The smaller the number on the waterproof sandpaper, the coarser it is. Polish by changing from sandpaper with smaller numbers to larger numbers (from coarser to finer grit).

3. When you have polished it to your desired extent, it is complete.

【Precautions for polishing】

・When filing, there is a risk of cutting and injuring your hand. Please polish with extreme caution.

・Periodically rinse off the abrasive residue that comes off during polishing with water, wipe away the moisture with tissue or kitchen paper, and check the polished surface. If you continue polishing without rinsing with water, the remaining abrasive residue may scratch the surface of the gemstone. Change the water as needed.

*You will receive two rough stones, one of each type. The photos are an example, and you cannot choose the color or shape. Please be aware of this in advance.

*There will be no change in quality or use, but some tool colors and specifications may change.
