Book excerpt: Gem cutting, or lapidary, most certainly got its start as an offshoot of mundane everyday activities. A stone may have fallen into a fire where the heat caused it to break or flake. Perhaps a sharp edge resulted. Certainly, flint and other hard stone possess sharp edges, but a blade-like cutting edge on a newly flaked piece of rock suggested some very interesting possibilities. Hobbyists enjoyed cutting and polishing gemstones and mounting them in prefabricated jewelry settings or in the metalwork of their own creation (silversmithing). Primarily, lapidary hobbyists enjoyed creating three types of stonework: cabochons, faceting, tumbling stones. In all fields of lapidary, you'll need to take large pieces of stone and turn them into useful, smaller-sized pieces. If you're in the field, you might be able to drop them off a precipice and retrieve the pieces at the bottom. This book will show you how to do lapidary with techniques and easy patterns to follow. You will find it interesting to make jewelry for yourself or even sell it as a souvenir. Buy this book now and you will be amazed by its elegance and nobleness.

Download or read book Rock Tumbliing for Beginners written by James B. Jorgensen and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since tumbling stones are comprised of beautiful natural materials that have been molded into attractive forms and polished to a high sheen, many people like collecting them. In addition to the New Age sector, they are commonly utilized in the markets for jewelry, crafts, mementos, awards, and other collectibles. Rocks and minerals are polished and smoothed using the technique of tumbling in order to be shaped into spherical, sparkling diamonds. In order to get the desired smooth polish, it is essential to tumble stones in a device called as a rock tumbler. The result is a delicate, polished gemstone with beautiful organic lines and peculiarities that are specific to the specimen. Many gem species are available as tumbled jewels. The most popular gems to be tumbled include agate, jasper, quartz, eye agate, obsidian glass, organic granite rocks, and wood. Although though gemstone tumbling is one of the simplest and most accessible processes for shaping gems, there are important considerations to make in order to get the finest results. I hope you are ready to begin tumbling?
