Repair of Seraphinite

If your seraphinite gemstone is damaged.

To correct the form you need a file ( I am surprised that it is one word for instrument and computer file:) for processing of metal.


You need for repairing 3 water resistant grinding papers like on pictures. They can be found in shops of things for processing bodies of cars or care of cars for about 0.5$ each. There is a designation on a underside. For repairing you need 3 types: 1. P150 or P300 or P400, 2.. P800 or P1000 or P1200. 3. P2000 or higher. (higher is better) for polishing

Repairing:


1. Wet damaged place and rub with effort by file damaged place. You need to remove " a superfluous stone " and to soften the turned out sides.

2. . You take paper 1. Wet it and rub with small effort (should appear "milk") the damaged place before disappearance of scratchs from the file.

3 By paper type 2 you remove scratchs from paper 1. Surface must become more matte.
4. The processed places will differ by dullness from shine of other surface. You take paper 3. Also wet and rub before occurrence of shine.


You can begin to repair from paper type 1. Without file. But it will be little more time and more difficulty to change the form.



VERY IMPORTANT WARNING: Do not touch not damaged places by file and by grinding papers. They can make scratchs on the surface. It is better to turn seraphinite in a fabric or cloth having left outside only the damaged place for processing


I am sorry for my english. If something is not clearly let me know.
