Wow!

    For days now I have been reading about this subject on agatized Dino
    Bone. I found a source for alot of it and am trying to cut some. My
    tools are very basic. I don't have any high grit abrasives to work
    with. Last night I tried to shine some of this gorgeous stuff and I
    couldn't get more than a waxy shine finish. My last grit used before
    a Leather lap and some Orange-ish polish paste was 1200 grit diamond
    lap. Like everything else, (like metal working) I am not formally
    educated in the Lapidary field. Could some one give me some quick
    hints to get that shine up higher (more closer to glass) with some
    short cuts? Any tips are much appreciated. 

Sincerely
Devin Startup
