Use
After a gemstone or cabochon carver, custom body jeweler, or other lapidary artist creates a preform for a carving with Inland Sintered Diamond Carving Burs, the go-to sequence for working with many commercial lapidary materials is the 280, 600, 1200, and 3,000 grit points, followed by the use of a 14,000 grit Nova Point. While this sequence will put an acceptable polish on most stones, many hard-to-polish material may require more steps such as additional grit Nova burrs, or polish compounds like diamond paste or cerium oxide.
Diamond Pacific Nova Sanding Points MUST be used with water.
