【Polishing instructions】
*For a more detailed explanation, please watch the video.

1. First, wet the stone with water,

Then, polish it with a diamond file. There is no functional difference in the polishing surface between the diamond files (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 of material. The (red) file is recommended for polishing finer surfaces.

2. Secure the waterproof sandpaper to the wooden binder and polish the stone in a circular motion, constantly wetting it with water. The smaller the number on the waterproof sandpaper, the coarser it is. Polish by changing from sandpaper with smaller numbers to those with larger numbers (from coarser to finer grit).

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

【Precautions when polishing】

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

・Periodically rinse off the abrasive residue with water while polishing, and dry the surface with a tissue or paper towel to check the polished surface. Continuing to polish without rinsing with water may scratch the surface of the gemstone with the remaining abrasive. Change the water as needed.
