Description from the creator

Cabochon Cutting Tutorial: Watch as I cut a cabochon from turquoise fused glass. Fused glass cabochons are fairly common, but manually cutting cabochons using lapidary techniques is quite unique. This cabochon also looks very much like turquoise. The glass fusing techniques include using glasses that react with each other.

I use a 360 grit diamond wheel and then a 600 grit wheel to refine the shape. The final cab is polished in a kiln. However, it could equally be polished manually with cerium oxide.
