Description:

LEMON CHRYSOPRASE (Citron, Magnesite) preformed slab, 20 x 22 x 6 mm, 39.5 ct, rectangle shape, yellow green, brown, from Australia.

RARE SHATTUCKITE preformed slab, 22 x 23 x 6 mm, 45.5 ct, sanded and shaped, Azurite, Ajoite, Malachite and secondary minerals found in the Ajo copper mines of Arizona. Blue, green, brown and black colors. This slab will produce a beautiful cabochon or finish and keep as a super rare specimen. Smooth preformed finish to make it easier for you to cab. No pits or open fractures.


FINISHING: I try and get all or most of the pits and open fractures removed and the front and back smoothed to produce a more acceptable slab for you to finish for jewelry or specimen. My recommendation for finishing these slabs is to start with 600 diamond grit, if 600 doesn't remove all grit lines on the slab, work your way back and use (320, or 240) and then 600 to remove all grit lines, finish with 1000 grit before polishing. For extra help I have created several posts that show how I create cabs, see my website blog on Designsbyshirl.com.

Use the picture with the 10 x 10 mm squares and the 18 mm dime to help with size visualization, all pictures are taken wet except the last 2 which are taken dry, which helps to highlight any imperfections if there are any.

All slabs have been preformed by shaping and sanding them. I also removed all the pits and any ugly open fractures, anything left in will be noted in the descriptions. I sand all sides of a slab with 120 to 180 diamond grit so the're ready for you to finish with a finer grit and polish. My performing really cuts down the time it will take you to finish a slab, no pits or fractures for you to cut out.
