Thanks , never knew there was so many kinds . Or that my “ Douglas Creek piece “ was magnetic , super cool to learn it has magnetite in it , and that explains why I’ve “ felt it to be very grounding . “ Magnetite is a load stone excellent for grounding and healing . I put it , to my magnet , and yea really magnetic . Mine has veins of very clear green through it as well , giving it the jade inclusions . Thanks , I learned a lot 👍

@@CampbellCarving it’s the green tube Zam , often used for metal polishing , but for jade and a cotton grind wheel, only a light pressure is required , and it gets the hard jade , up to polished , without too much effort . 👍

I love that i'm here in California and fading same stuff, made in the depths in the middle and we collect it at the edges . this stone has taken me on a journey , its special and I had no idea till I started working with it . it literally made itself into shapes in my hands that were not my designs, and then I started learning about it, strange stuff, it has the story of earth rising up out of water trapped in it somehow. sounds crazy but I feel like you already know way more about what im talking about than I do. im just a rockhound that stumbled upon its secrets. thanks for sharing your knowledge and skills with us !!

You can get a mirror polish just by keeping going on past a 400 grit, but use a wet sand in the high grits. Then just a good rub with a polishing compound. If you have a buffing wheel, that just makes it faster and easier.
@CampbellCarvingАй бұрын
How high do you go in the sanding grits? Probably depends on the stone?
@BarkBarqueАй бұрын
@@CampbellCarving depends on the material and what you’re going for in the end, but the main idea is that the higher you go, the more perfectly shiny your finish will be. I would wet sand to maybe around 2000 grit and then use a buffing wheel if I wanted that perfect piano finish
