4 Calcite (pattern says it all)
5 Tiger Iron (Classic)
6 Hampton (unique Wood)
7 Septarian
8 Lucin
I know Indian Paint is a bugger to polish but has anything worked? A higher polish would push that way over the top to number one. I bought some amazing patterned Cherry Creek not knowing the dark side of it. I spent days trying everything, Whales Wax, Sealing, Automotive Polishing compound, Plastic Polish, Rouge Chrome, Tin, Alumina, Cerium, Smooth leather, Felt, Rough Leather< horrible with rough!, nothing could do it. I finally tried baking the material in hopes that it had some moisture content and the sealed immediately with Hxtal after drying in the oven for an hour. Back to the wheels 600-14k, Then used Smooth leather with Cerium with a ton of water and never letting it heat or dry out and Finally got a decent polish. Ill post a message separate in the forum on the process and the results since I don't want to post any pics here and divert away from the great spheres you made.
