Re: Trimming methods – wulfenite

this is a tough trim with any equipment but using a grinder will probably just leave you with equally visible damage…plus grinder marks lamentos matrix is tenacious and tends to spall…taking crystals with it. unless you are lucky you will not end up ahead of where you are now. first rule of trimming is like the first rule of medicine…do no harm. consider professional help or get access to a microabrasive unit. and be patients this matrix does not go away easily and the luster on the crystals is easy to damage.
