I cut my first peridot and I gotta say, much easier than the quartz by a mile. My confidence needed that boost. 🤣
I noticed when I googled the best way to polish peridot, there was quite a bit of debate in what was best, and no real clear right answer. I saw 100k diamond on a BATT lap, aluminum oxide, and chrome oxide all suggested. I tried the aluminum and it did okay, but took ages. What do you guys prefer?
(I have been advised my girdles are a smidgen too thick and I’ll be putting my future stones on a diet. Whoops.)
