I also have diamond abrasive supplies for sale. These are American made and first quality, not the cheap imports that skimp on diamond. I sell diamond grit, diamond belts, disks wheels, laps and burs in all popular grit sizes. These are the exact same products I use to create the gems shown on this website.
If you need suggestions for selecting grit sizes or products, email me and I'll help you!
