Let's try gemstone polishing "Do-it-yourself rough stone polishing set" (for intermediate users: white labradorite)

Born from the request, "I want to enjoy gems up close, are there any parent-child experiences available?", comes the "DIY Rough Gemstone Polishing Kit".

This rough gemstone is harder than others, making it recommended for adults who want to take their time and polish carefully [Intermediate level]. We have carefully selected white labradorite with a size suitable for polishing rough gemstones, allowing you to fully enjoy its Schiller effect. Tools for polishing rough gemstones are also included. This is a rough white labradorite gemstone where you can enjoy the Schiller effect.

Since one side has already been rough-cut, you can enjoy the difference between the rough state and the rough cut. When polishing, try polishing either both sides or one side, as you prefer.

With this kit, you can immediately enjoy the experience of polishing rough gemstones at home.

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

1. After soaking the stone in water,

begin by polishing with a diamond file. There is no functional difference in the polishing surface between the diamond file (white) and (red). The (white) file has a wider surface, making it easier for children to use. Use it when you want to remove a larger amount. The (red) file is recommended for polishing smaller surfaces.

2. Fix the waterproof sandpaper to the wooden binder and polish the stone in a circular motion, while applying water. The smaller the number of the waterproof sandpaper, the coarser it is. Polish by switching from sandpaper with smaller numbers to larger numbers (from coarser paper to finer paper).

3. The process is complete when you have polished it to your desired extent.

【Precautions when polishing】

・There is a risk of cutting and injuring your hands while filing. Please polish with extreme caution.

・Occasionally rinse off the abrasive produced during polishing with water, remove moisture with tissue or kitchen paper, and check the polished surface. If you continue polishing without rinsing with water, the remaining abrasive on the surface may damage the gemstone's surface. Replace the water as needed.
