[QUOTE="Dughug, post: 236031, member: 157"] A silicon carbide oil stone that is used for sharpening knives will soon sand a nice face on your "gem". use a little water - can add a drop of dishwashing detergent if you wish. You could also use wet & dry sandpaper starting from around 100 grit through to 1200 to get a matt finish. You don't need to spend much to start with. You'd probably be able to find these things in the shed. [/QUOTE]
