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.
