    Linda, Josh,

    I will try it next time with the wax and then the release agent. I’ve given away most of my first pieces already, soon will be time for more… :)

    be well

    Nepi,

    600 and then 800 did the job, then used turtle wax to finish it off. Sides of the pyramid have almost a wet look to it, not as the bottom, which is almost see through, but very close.

    Thanks!

    Nepi,

    I will try gradually increasing the grit and sand the imperfections off and then wax it. I will post the results, when completed.

    Thank you!

    Thank you, josh!

    I will try 400 first, and see how it will come out. It has some air pockets on the surface, but I will keep them, otherwise I will need to sand down a few mms :) I will use a pam oil next time and epoxy :) I thought that the resin would smell when cured, luckily there is no smell at all, except some oregano oil that i mixed into it. It somewhat reminds me of amber that i really like…

    Thanks, again!

    josh, i will do that, will look for the lapis beads then… i am sure there will be something on ebay…
    you right about the water evaporation, i didn’t thought about that, so, then no worries, I would then acquire stones instead of the powder and use them: happy crystals -> happy plasterite :)

    josh, thank you, great!!! that is one mighty crystal that you have there :)
    Can rose/smokey quartz beads be used, or only clear quartz? I have a few strands of those, will need to get lapis ones, then… Lingam that i have is a baby then :) probably under 10 lb…
    question: is the crystal water essence have the same power as the crushed crystal? Wouldn’t water be a bit more vulnerable, as it might be easier to reprogram a water, then the crystal powder? Otherwise, i really like the idea of using the water essence of the stone, i think they would prefer that as well!

    Hello Linda,

    Sorry, didn’t notice the post before :)
    I made my first plaster with crushed stones, shells, rocks and sand collected in a near by beach, added some oils, minerals, copper (just realized that i forgot to add copper in the second creation… and didn’t put any copper coils… or well… ). Also, some additional selenite and lemurian crystals, Himalayan salt. I listed all the ingredients somewhere under Plaster forum, I think on page 17 or 18. It took me several months, I think, to get all the ingredients and finally do it, but I am so happy i did it. It’s a fun process, as well :) As i understand, the main ingredients are: the mold, plaster, water, salt and sand, the rest are the enhancements :) right? – experts, please confirm! I think once you have the basic ones, you are all set to go! Please share your creations when you make them, would love to see how they would come out!

    Dreams came back around the 4th, 5th day, not as intense as the first one, but still very vivid…
    A while ago, someone conditioned me that moonstones and pearls are not too good for me (make me more moody :) ), so i still have mixed feels about them… I’ve read a lot about Herkimer Diamonds, they should be good to use in plasterite, i should really look for them . I am not familiar with Frankincense, will ave to look up. Thank you!!! Recently i acquired a larger shiva lingam stone, and was thinking if i should put it in plaster? Or just maybe put it in water ( i think it was suggested by josh somewhere) and use the stone water in plasterite? Any suggestion on weather to use the Shiva lingam in plasater?

    Josh,

    That’s awesome that you were able to heal in 2 weeks! I think growing your own food is the best thing to
    do, if I would have place where to plant a garden, I would definitely do :D it for now I just sprout :lol:

    You are always an inspiration!
