Sehr schön geworden, die Scheibe durch den Stein gefilmt. 👍🙂

I’ve noticed it’s so soft you can facet it by hand!

What lap and oxide do you use to polish it
@GemWorks24 күн бұрын
Tin lap (as mentioned in the video) and diamond powder.

Lovely. Could you use that for jewelry? Earrings or a pin, maybe?
@GemWorks7 жыл бұрын
Yes, of course flourite is also used in jewelry. Just, it has to be taken care as it's surface is scratched easily.

Hy there! I tried to polish fluorite on a lead lap with olive oil and cerum oxide. On small facets it seems to work, but on big facets I always get scratches. After that I cleaned the lap and tried 100k diamond powder. Same scratches. I tried less oil and more powder. More oil. I tried less pressure. After that I was frustrated and gave more pressure because F that. That seems to work for the first big facet. So On the second bigger facet I used the same amount of pressure. Making scratches again. Now the facet is so worn down that I have to start all over again. What am I doing wrong? Any suggestions?

Forgot to mention: I also tried polishing the stone on different parts of the lap, because I thought maybe the lap is damaged. Than I wore the lap down using a nice flat surface of a quartz Cristal to even the lap.

And I even tried to polish on a wood lap. But in that process, the stone gets too hot too fast unfortunately.

Hello! Initially I faced the same problem during polishing - always had scratches. I soon switched from a tin-lead lap to a pure tin lap. This magically worked. Also, the level of pressure to give is a significant lower one than with hard material like quartz. So my working combination is tin lap, enough oil + 0.5um diamond powder, and very little pressure. - Hope you can use this information to achieve a good polish soon!

Gem Works interessant, dass ich deinen Blog gefunden habe wo du erklärst wie du eine zinnscheibe gießt, und gleichzeitig mit dir hier in englischer Sprache kommuniziere ohne zu merken dass beide Medien von der selben Person betrieben werden. 🤭 Darf ich fragen wieviel Material du an Zinn benötigt hast, um eine 12mm dicke Scheibe mit 15cm Durchmesser heraus zu bekommen? Übrigens, steinschleifmaschinen.at scheinen dein Bild der fertigen zinnscheibe verwendet zu haben als Beispiel Bild für den Artikel den Sie dort anbieten. Hast Du mit denen etwas zu tun? Ich kaufe mein Equipment größten teils dort. LG und danke für deine Antwort von vorhin, ich muss mir zuerst eine Zinnscheibe besorgen bevor ich deinen Rat befolgen kann und ziehe einen kauf erstmal nicht in erwegung wenn ichs auch selber Gießen und drehen kann. Bin auch mehr der diy Typ. 😉

Hallo! Ja, die Zinnscheiben selber zu gießen ist kein großer Aufwand. Am besten alte Zinnteller vom Flohmarkt oder willhaben.at besorgen. Die Mengenberechnung ist recht einfach: 7,3g/cmm3. D.h. in Deinem Fall ca. 15*PI*1,2=56,5 cm3, somit 56,5*7,3g = 412,45g. Ich würde also ca. 500g dafür einschmelzen. Mit steinschleifmaschinen habe ich gar nichts zu tun. Glaube auch, dass das Bild nicht unbedingt von meinem Blog sein muss. LG
