Using a heavy fabric such as denim, polish the rocks until they begin to shine or show luster. At this point, you may choose to either continue polishing with the cloth, or you may coat the stones and gems with mineral oil or commercial rock polish. Allow them to dry.
What gauge wire is best for wrapping stones?
The best gauge wire for wrapping stones is 20-gauge wire. A 20-gauge wire is easy to bend and wrap, but it will not break as easily either. Copper wire is the most common and the most affordable, so it is a good choice across the board.
