I was given several carved ruby fuchsite cabochons to repolish, can anyone tell me what the best way to do this is? One looks dried out and the other one is starting to fade. I am fairly new and I would love to help this client. She has several more in similar condition. Any help would be very much appreciated.
Blessings, Dianna
Depending on the size and intricacy of the carving, my suggestion would be using a Dremel and cerium oxide. Fuchsite is very soft so Cerium should be easier to work with, keep it as a slurry, and just take your time.
