Sample page
Introduction To Lapidary provides an authoritative introduction to all aspects of lapidary, describing processes, tools, and equipment of each branch of this fascinating hobby. This book will help the reader choose a technique, get started right away, and determine which tools will work best to achieve specific results.
Author Pansy Kraus, editor of the Lapidary Journal magazine for 21 years, describes the processes and considerable rewards of tumbling rocks, making cabochons, carving gem materials, lapping, cutting spheres, making beads and faceting. She provides a coherent overview of a vast and complex field, from the elementals of getting started to studio visits with lapidary artists, where we discover what may be possible.
Chapters include History of Lapidary, Rock Tumbling, Equipment for Rock Tumbling, Cabochon Grinding and Polishing, Equipment for Cabochon Cutting, Lapping Gem Materials, Sphere and Bead Making and Drilling, Inlay, Mosaics and Intarsias, Gem Carving, Faceting Gemstones, and Faceting Equipment. Useful Tables includes Names for Agates, Scales of Hardness, Grit-Size Numbering and Grading, Calculated Critical Angle Based on Refractive Index, Conversion Table: Length, Temperature, Volume, Weight, Suggested Diamond Saw Speeds and RPM Speed Table. Appendices include Gem and Mineral Magazines, Ivory Importing Restrictions, References, and Suggested Reading.
