Characteristics: Preformed slabs, Multi colors. No open fractures or pits unless noted. Rare, scarce and unique lapidary slabs for cabs or specimens. Preformed, sanded smooth, ready to cab. These will make a beautiful unique one of a kind bracelet or individual cabs or keep as specimens.

My preformed (shaped and sanded) rough slabs are small to medium size.  I cut out most or all open fractures and ugly pits.  I will try and note anything unusual in a slab (druzy, small pits, natural sealed fractures, etc.).  I sand all sides of a slab with 180 diamond grit so they are are ready for you to finish with a finer grit and polish.

A lot of effort went into giving you a product that will make it easier for you to finish, or keep it as a nice looking natural specimen. The stand is included so it will help make the slab stand out in your specimen cabinet or on a shelf. Contact us if you have any special requests, for a small charge we will re-shape or cut special slabs to your specifications.

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 my slabs is to start with 325 diamond grit and finish with 600 to-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.
