Description
TechDiamondTools diamond polishing compounds are suitable for lapping, polishing, and sharpening. All diamond pastes are oil-soluble and have no added color. The former provides faster cutting, and the latter allows using them on materials with high permeability.
A set of 3 diamond compounds is helpful when you need more than one polishing paste for your project. Each contains three different grits for a 3 step lapping or polishing process. You can choose from more than ten different combinations of compounds. One will help with the stock removal, and another will create a mirror finish, etc. Please, see our Grit Guide below to determine what set suits you best.

Used 4k, 8k, 50k on Ethiopian opal and did not have any issues with the color of the diamond paste bleeding in my opals. I would buy again.
