Hi Dave, your work is awesome. Would you be able to tell me where to find used lapidary machines?

Thank you for the video on this subject. I always learn so much from your videos. I'm one of those people who always uses cerium over tin. One thing I see online is that most Tin Oxide is around the size of .7 - .8 microns and the white optical grade Cerium Oxide seems to be int he ranges of .8 - 1.5 microns. In theory, the tin should be better then?

I grew up polishing with Tin Oxide Eventually moved to Cerium oxide. But I think it all Depends on the gem that you are polishing.

Cerium oxide is not always ideal. Gotta get some tin oxide!

Can't find Tin Oxide on DP website. Would it be under another name?
@lapidarydave5 ай бұрын
No not by another name but you can just give them a phone call and they’ll sell it to you that way somebody I know recently bought some from them. I think they made a phone call.

I took the jump Dave made one long video but it’s complete crap. I have the shakes today and didn’t hold the specimens up for long enough.
