Strands Amethyst
I want to start making jewelry, the amethyst I bought to work with looks dull…?
I’m new at this and don’t know much of anything about beading or jewelry making yet, just one wiring class at a local bead store. When I see semi-precious stones in other people’s handmade jewelry, the stones are almost always polished looking. I bought a strand of tiny amethyst stones & various other pieces the other day to start experimenting with. But I noticed that the amethyst looks dull. I never see dull looking stones like that on etsy jewelry or at craft festivals. There must be a way to polish or shine it up? Hopefully a way that doesn’t require buying even more loads of expensive tools & materials, lol.
How can I polish/shine semi-precious stones? Can I just buy some kind of special liquid solution to rub onto the stone with a cloth to polish it? If so, is there also a special cloth I should use, or is any fabric fine to use? Thanks for your help!
HI,Big subject you are looking at but pardon the quip it has many facets.AT present i have little time Reason yes polishing rocks,You must find groups or freinds, books and the net.But back to your question about poor polish.It could be the rough being poor quality or the equipment you are using.or the sequence in de grading or contaminated grit.Sorry must go now ,but keep trying.
