    Finishing Gemstone Blanks?

    Will traditional sanding grits (150-500) plus micromesh (1500-12000) work on Gemstone blanks?

    I made shaving brush handles using gemstone and sanded them just as you described with excellent results.

    OK! Thanks! This is the first pen I've turned from this material and I didn't want to screw it up!
