Suitable Material:
I grind and polish all stones and minerals from Mohs hardness 3 upwards. A variety of materials are suitable for a high-end polish.
The Mohs Hardness Scale – Guidance for Your Material
The Mohs scale indicates how hard a mineral is (1 = very soft, 10 = hardest mineral). I process all materials from Mohs hardness 3.
| Mohs Hardness | Examples | Processable? |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Talc, Soapstone | ❌ Too soft |
| 2 | Gypsum, Rock Salt, Selenite | ❌ Too soft |
| 3 | Calcite, Aragonite, Marble | ✅ Possible from here |
| 4 | Fluorite, Dolomite | ✅ |
| 5 | Apatite, Obsidian, Sodalite | ✅ |
| 6 | Feldspar, Labradorite, Moonstone, Malachite | ✅ |
| 6–7 | Tiger's Eye, Aventurine, Agate, Jasper, Chalcedony | ✅ |
| 7 | Quartz, Amethyst, Citrine, Rose Quartz, Rock Crystal, Smoky Quartz | ✅ |
| 7–8 | Petrified Wood, Hematite Jasper | ✅ |
| 8 | Topaz, Spinel | ✅ (on request) |
| 9 | Corundum, Ruby, Sapphire | ✅ (on request) |
| 10 | Diamond | ❌ Not possible |
Not sure about the hardness of your stone? Just contact me – I'll be happy to advise you. Soft petrified wood is not accepted.

Important Information Regarding Liability
Processing is carried out at the client's own risk. Natural materials may contain internal stresses, cracks, or inclusions that can lead to breakage or chipping during grinding or polishing. Liability for such material-related damage is excluded.
Price Reservation: In case of unforeseen additional effort (e.g., extreme hardness of the material, extensive preparation necessary, etc.), a surcharge of up to 20% on the estimated price is possible. You will be informed in advance.
