CABOCHONS
Many of the non- precious cabochons in Amy's designs are cut and polished by her husband, Tom. Beginning with a rough stone or slab, Tom will cut out a basic shape followed by progressive steps on the grinding wheels. A final polish is achieved with a polishing wheel. Each stone is composed of different minerals requiring different methods to achieve a pleasing shape and luster. Some of the stones used are Picture Jasper, Laboradite, Mexican Crazy Lace Agate, Tree Agate, Onyx, Picasso Stone, Sodalite, Rhyolite, and many others.
