Exposing Bands While Polishing an Unstable Agate | Flat Lap Lapidary | Lake Superior Agate

Join along as we go through the process of polishing an agate on my flat lap lapidary machine. There is some drama on this lapidary adventure, this lake superior agate is pretty broken up, and even those we did a good job exposing those beautiful bands, it still has some pretty bad fractures... so that's where you amazing folks come in! Let me know what you would do if you could work this gem of a stone more, I am currently stumped but want to give this stone the perfect polish and as of now, it's unfinished. Help a fellow beginner lapidary artist in his quest to polish this heart breaker of an agate!
