A closer look at some Maligano Jasper slabs. I really enjoy the combination of orange, yellow, red, and gray, along with the intricate natural patterns running through each slab. Every piece has a different pattern, which makes this material really interesting to work with.
A quick look at these Golden Flame Jasper cabochons. I really enjoy the natural golden tones and unique patterns in each piece.
The final polishing stage is here. Each cabochon is carefully polished by hand to reveal its natural colors, patterns, and shine. After shaping and sanding, this is where the stones truly come to life.
Thank you for following the process from start to finish!
Here’s a look at the sanding stage of this cabochon. Slowly working through the surface and watching the natural patterns become more visible. Still a little more work to go, but I’m enjoying seeing how it develops.
A quick look at the shaping process for these Golden Flame Jasper pieces. I really enjoy seeing the patterns start to come through as the shapes are refined. Here are the results after shaping.
A closer look at this piece of Copper Chrysocolla rough. I really like the natural copper patterns and textures throughout the material. Just wanted to share some close-up details of this interesting piece.
A little look at the process of cutting this Golden Flame Jasper. These pieces are being prepared as slabs for making cabochons later. I’m looking forward to seeing how the patterns come out once they’re shaped and polished.

A short look at the shaping process. Still needs more work and polishing, but the coffin shape is starting to come together.
Palm Root pairs matched for earrings, with each pair selected for complementary patterns, colors, and shapes. I really like how every pair has its own unique character.
A quick look at the polishing process of these Labradorite cabochons, followed by the finished results. I always enjoy seeing how each stone reveals its own unique flash after the final polish.
A quick look at the sanding and polishing process of these Palm Root cabochons. It’s always satisfying to see the patterns and details become clearer as the final polish comes together.
A look at the sanding stage of these Labradorite cabochons. Slowly refining the shape and surface before moving on to the next stages.
This short video shows our complete lapidary process, from a Fossil Coral slab to finished cabochons. It includes cutting, shaping, sanding, polishing, and the final result. Every piece reveals a unique natural fossil pattern.
Each Golden Flame Jasper cabochon has its own natural pattern and color combination. No two stones are exactly alike, which makes working with this material especially enjoyable.
This video shows the finishing stages of our fossil coral cabochons. Before this step, the stones are roughly shaped using a grinding stone. The sanding process shown here removes the grinding marks, smooths the surface, and prepares the cabochons for the final polish. The final polishing brings out the natural fossil coral pattern and gives each piece a smooth, glossy finish. Every cabochon is finished by hand.
This video shows one step in our lapidary process. Here we’re shaping Fossil Coral cabochons on the grinding wheel before the final sanding and polishing stages. Each piece is shaped carefully to preserve as much of the natural fossil pattern as possible.
This video shows part of our lapidary process. After selecting the best pattern on the Fossil Coral slab, we mark each cabochon shape and carefully cut them one by one. These are the rough cabochon shapes before grinding, shaping, and polishing.
A short look at one stage of our lapidary process. After selecting the best flash, we carefully shape the stone into a cabochon before the final sanding and polishing stages.
