The 13-Step Lapidary Process and Diamond Grit Wheels:
The process of polishing megalodon teeth involves a meticulous, multi-stage procedure using diamond grit wheels. This is to carefully remove the outer layers of the fossil, and bring out the inner beauty of the fossil, without damaging it. While the exact grit numbers can vary slightly, the general progression is from coarse to very fine. Here’s a general overview:
- Initial Shaping and Rough Grinding:
- This stage uses coarse diamond grit wheels to remove any rough edges, imperfections, and unwanted matrix from the tooth. This is where the overall shape is refined.
- Progressive Smoothing:
- The process then moves through a series of medium-grit wheels, gradually smoothing the surface and removing scratches left by the coarser grits.
- Fine Grinding and Polishing:
- This involves using progressively finer diamond grit wheels to achieve a smooth, pre-polished surface.
- Final Polishing:
- The final stages employ very fine grit wheels and polishing compounds to create a high-gloss, mirror-like finish.
Key Aspects:
- Diamond Grit Wheels:
- These wheels are essential because diamond is one of the hardest substances, capable of grinding and polishing the fossilized tooth without causing excessive damage.
- The progression from coarse to fine grit is crucial for achieving a smooth, polished surface.
- Revealing Intricate Details:
- The lapidary process can reveal the tooth’s intricate details, such as:
- Serrations along the cutting edges.
- The “bourlette,” the dark chevron-shaped area near the root.
- Variations in color and mineral patterns within the fossil.
- The lapidary process can reveal the tooth’s intricate details, such as:
- Enhancing Natural Patterns:
- Polishing brings out the natural patterns and colors of the fossil, which can vary depending on the tooth’s age, location, and the minerals present during fossilization.
In essence:
The 13-step process, with the use of the 6 diamond grit wheels, is designed to carefully and slowly bring out the natural beauty of the megalodon tooth. This process allows the collectors to see the true beauty of these prehistoric fossils.
