Stone hearts.

[ROBBYBOBBY64]

Here is a couple of stone hearts I made out of rocks. The top left is pink and green granite. Still scarred by the grinder step. The bottom left is a fluorescent rock heart past the second step of disc sanded up to 220 grit. It is calcite, willamite and franklinite. It glows green and red under a shortwave UV light. The big one is finished and buffed to a glowing shine. It is a green feldspar with dots of fools gold in it.

Those are so cool! I tried my hand at it last year with some pink granite and a Dremel but those are much better! What kind of tools do you use? I have some stone I need to cut.

Not too long. The polishing step and sanding take the longest. The grinding is the fastest part one hour tops. The hearts go 1 step grind is the top left then step 2 sand is the black red and white on the bottom left then the big one on the right is step 3 polish and done.each heart is at a different finished step.

The big heart took some time about 7 hours. I did it over 3 days so it wasn't bad.
