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.

Templates

Templates make it easy to draw the outline of your cabochon on a slab, especially for calibrated stones.

Plastic and Metal Template Sets are the same, except for the material they are made from. Both materials have advantages: you can see your slab through a plastic template, but the they wear out and deform after scribing a lot of stones. Metal templates last forever, unless someone sits in them.

Vinyl Aprons

Let's face it, slabbing rocks and cutting cabs can be awful messy. So, every lapidary artist should have an apron. These aprons are adjustable for length.

Tweezers:

Fine Point Tweezers
Economy Locking Tweezers

Insulated Crosslock Tweezers
Pearl and Bead Tweezers

Tweezers are handy tools for gem handling by faceters, gemologists and jewelers.  Fine point tweezers are helpful when sorting through a parcel of cut or rough stones.  Locking tweezers are useful when closely inspecting individual stones and for dopping.

I use insulated tweezers for holding faceting rough during the dopping process.  Their cross locking design makes it easy to hold stones firmly in place. Insulated tweezers also offer more control when dopping small stones and keeps hands at a safe distance from the flame.

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.
