Opticon
Opticon
is an excellent choice for filling tiny voids in cutting material that keeps it
from getting a full polish. After the pre-polish stage, a hard to polish
cab can be treated with Opticon. When the Opticon hardens, a high polish can be
obtained. Also good for stabilizing turquoise.
We do not ship this product
outside the US.

Star
Refractol
A drop of Star Refractol will immediately
show the star or cat's eye on rough. It helps in selecting the best rough as well
as in orienting a stone for optimum performance before cutting.

Leather Polishing Pads
Leather pads are used for polishing with oxide polishes such as cerium
oxide or tin oxide. We have two types of leather pads: cowhide and elk. Cowhide
has a rougher surface than elk.
Leather pads do NOT have an adhesive backing.
So, you have to use feathering cement to attach them to a base plate or
master lap. Feathering cement can be found on our accessories
page.

Feathering Cement
Feathering
Cement is the best glue to attach leather polishing discs to a baseplate. It holds
well, but also allows you to remove the leather pad and replace it with another
one. This allows you to use one pad for cerium oxide and another one for tin oxide. We do not ship this product outside the US.

stones and for dopping. Pearl and bead tweezers have a round hollow
area at the business end of the tweezers. This helps in picking up and holding round objects such as pearls and beads without damaging them. |
