Grit Progression & MicronsLapidary Guild

Convert diamond mesh sizes to exact micron scratch depth tolerances and align grit progression steps for scratchless polishing.

Workshop Parameters

Softer stones yield deeper scratches at equivalent grits.

Abrasive Particle Profiling
Mean Micron size25 μm
Estimated Scratch depth6.75 μm

Lubricant Match:

Use Water (Continuous). Consistent surface lubrication flushes ground stone micro-fragments to prevent lap loading and deep wild scratches.

Refractive and density indexes are values based on gemology standards. Work under correct lighting to avoid angle deviations.
