[QUOTE="shivan, post: 183214, member: 194"] The first two stages are only really for cut, rough or broken rocks to round edges, though it also cleans any other grit off the stones that may contaminate the polish stage I think. I have actually got a nice polish on some quartz just with the pre polish, but jasper/chert seems to come up a lot better with the final stage. Yes leave it running 24/7 if possible ( if turned off for any period drain and wash the rocks) for the first week. You can check the rocks as often as you like, it can just get messy doing it too often ;) [/QUOTE]
