I am slowly expanding the materials I use and just received a small lot of true stone blanks. I have never worked with any tru stone I have turned various acrylics and expect this to be similar just much harder, the cutting and drilling tipped me off to this. I have pink quartz and turquoise gold matrix blanks. I have a couple of questions.
1) do these blanks have a tendency to be translucent? Should I reverse paint?
2) how do you finish these types of blanks? I was thinking just micro mesh then a little polish at least that is how these are advertised.
Just looking to get a few pointers. I don't want to mess up these blanks. They look like they have potential to be very nice pens. Thanks!
