	lapidary
		Lapidary is an active hobby, a creative hobby, and one in which the skilled artist can add significantly to the value of his material.
		Essentially the lapidary process is one of shaping the material with a coarse grinding wheel or disc; then regrinding to obtain a smoother surface until a glossy surface is obtained.
		Tumbling is lapidary treatment given to irregularly shaped stones by a mechanical process of continuous agitation or "tumbling" of the stones with a series of coarse to fine grits usually with water and culminating with the polishing of the baroque shapes.

		Lapidaries who use silicon carbide might use a new 220 or 280 belt, then a new 600 grit belt, then an old (worn) 600 grit belt to produce much the same result.
		Some lapidaries prefer a polished back to the cab, in which case the stone may be dopped on the top, and the back brought through the sanding and polishing stages just as the front was.
