Title: Rainbow Fluorite
Post by: tntmom on December 17, 2014, 10:08:25 PM

Just one for now.  This stuff cuts so fast you would think a cab would be done in 20 minutes.  Nope!!!!!!!  The trick is all in the 1200 stage.  Grind until there is not a single cloudy area left...... then lightly touch it to 14k diamond and viola, perfect finish!
