If it is felt fine enough to use it autosol had to make cling again. If not cling sandpaper's meaning less. This is called polishing. This method can not be done for plated items due to lead plating layer is lost.

Opaque gem. Actually opaque gems can also be rubbed with the above but take longer depending on its level and type of opaque gem. If diamonds do not try this gem because most violent in the world.
