Battling Fractures | Polishing Mary Ellen jasper (LAPIDARY)

Lets polish some Mary Ellen jasper on our cabbing machine! We recently cut this stone in this video: https://youtu.be/ljaz_9aq7xI and now we are making a fun freeform display piece out of one of the pieces! Even though we were battling natural stress fractures on this piece we did get a perfect polish out of this piece, its just one of those things we have to work through as we grow in our lapidary skills! Check below for all the details from what was mentioned at the end of the video!
