Enter Lapidary

My Path to Jewelry

Lapidary is messy and awesome, and creating a shiny semi precious cabochon from a rough hunk of rock is simply amazing.

Besides, there are all those new tools: diamond bits in helpful shapes and lots of sizes, a flex shaft motor, and a bewildering heap of polishing possibilities.

In case it is not obvious, learning new things is  another one of my hobbies.

But a handful of polished stones has little use, so of course, there is more to learn.
