[QUOTE="Mr Magoo, post: 239423, member: 3008"] Using 3000 plated laps is generally thought of as asking for trouble (I've never used them) partly because of the reasons you have said. Try 3000 on BATT, Copper or try one of R2C's laps. Unfortunately a polishing technique for a smokey won't work on a saph. Synthetic stone can be fun to play with to check your skills although no skills acquired regarding orientating the rough . Try a nice big Emerald cut. Simple but not.
