[QUOTE="Lefty, post: 435430, member: 2976"] Yeah, dark stones tend to throw a lot of reflection off the surface. Jeff Graham's "Lighthouse" has been successful for me in darker stones, including dark smokey quartz. Can't tell for certain from a photo but that piece does look quite dark. I remember a bloke who joined my club coming in with a smoky crystal he found in Tassie, it was virtually black and needed strong back-lighting to see into - instructor gave him a piece of colourless quartz to start playing with instead. Looks like it's going well though, looks nice and sharp :Y: What's the design? [/QUOTE]
