Lapidary Tip: Charging Technique with Dynalap Spectra Laps when Polishing Quartz & Opal 

Thanks! I use and love these too. Having the extra cerium in that spot is a great "auxiliary" option.

Big fun of your work, Sir ❤❤❤

Wishing you the best of best. Freen knowledge is always appreciated.

Great tip, thanks Steve!

Need to stock up on some Dynalap Spectra Disks? The ones I use are the 8"x 1/2" Spectra Cerium Oxide 1.5um 99% (SKU 7-0010) You purchase a package of 5 here: kingsleynorth.com?ref=ytdlngq& Need Cerium Oxide? I use the Super Cerium Oxide (4oz) SKU 0-0046 here: kingsleynorth.com?ref=ytdlngq& (I mix this with water to make a liquid solution for easy dispensing.) Are you ready to start your journey to become a fine gem cutter!? Ultra Tec is the machine I use & you can buy your UltraTec V5 Faceting Machine Here: rebrand.ly/UltraTecV5steveM (Be Sure to tell them Steve Moriarty sent you!)

Thank you Mr. Moriarty. I always enjoy your videos and this is a gem of a tip .. Pun intended 😊

Steve you are great

(Verse 1) In a world of hidden beauty, where treasures lie, I hold the key to brilliance, under the sky, With a faceting wheel and a heart full of dreams, I'll cut through the rough to uncover gleams. (Chorus) Faceting gems, a magical art, Turning stones into works of heart, With every facet, a story unfolds, In the heart of the Earth, where wonder beholds. (Verse 2) I place the gem on the dop, a delicate touch, A dance of angles, I love it so much, Laps of diamond, a symphony of grace, Shaping and polishing, a gem's embrace. (Chorus) Faceting gems, a magical art, Turning stones into works of heart, With every facet, a story unfolds, In the heart of the Earth, where wonder beholds. (Bridge) Grit by grit, I refine and I carve, Revealing the gem's soul, as I embark, On this journey of patience, skill, and heart, A masterpiece emerges, a true work of art. (Verse 3) Colors dance on facets, a sparkling display, A gem's inner fire, in the light's gentle sway, A gemstone's journey, a labor of love, A testament to nature's wonders above. (Chorus) Faceting gems, a magical art, Turning stones into works of heart, With every facet, a story unfolds, In the heart of the Earth, where wonder beholds. (Outro) So I'll keep faceting, with passion ablaze, Turning rough gems into dazzling arrays, A song of creation, where craftsmanship thrives, Faceting gems, where beauty arrives.

Good watch ty.

Thank you 🙋

Xin cảm ơn Ngài🎉

apparently cerium oxide is not cerium oxide... I'm seeing there are various grits of it and colors...and what meaning the colors have, I have no clue, so what micron cerium do you use and where are you getting it?
