| !! Lapidary Techniques !! |
Several common techniques are used in lapidary work:
| 1. Sawing: The process of cutting through a gemstone using a rotating thin circular blade at several thousand surface feet per minute. |
|
|
 |
| 2. Grinding: This is the process of shaping gemstones to a desired rough form using a silicon carbide or diamond-impregnated wheels. |
| 3. Sanding: Sanding is the process of removing deep scratches left by coarser abrasives during grinding. |
| 4. Lapping: This process is performed to create a flat surface on a gemstone. |
| 5. Polishing: Once we get the desired shape through all or some of the above processes, polishing take place to create a mirror-like finish to aid light reflection or refraction in the stone. |
|
| 6. Drilling: A small rotating rod or tube with a diamond tip used in this process to create a hole in the gemstone. |
| 7. Tumbling: In this process, gemstones are gradually smoothened and polished by keeping them in a rotating barrel with abrasives and water for extended periods. |
