[QUOTE="Diggertom, post: 166326, member: 3900"] Hey man I started to cab a pretty big heart yesterday out of rhodonite. The grinders I use are only one wheel aside so I was able to get in there on he angle. I couldn't make it deep enough though and it is double sided so didn't really matter to much but one the experience fellows said he gets in there with small diamond files and makes the top down part of the heart to make it really bounce out. In the picture he goes as low as the tweezers with the file in the centre. [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/3900/1436050040_image.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
