Title: Tiger eye
Post by: zurn on August 05, 2016, 09:28:34 AM

Hi all
Can someone tell me is there a right and wrong way to polish Tiger eye
I've got it trimmed and 325 is as far as I've gone
The harder quartz area is already showing a gleam
And the softer middle I'm afraid will contaminate the process
ThankS
Anthony

Fine sand and polish across the fibers. Polishing with the grain may lift out the fibers.
