I have some very pretty Chinese Turquoise cabs (many 8X6 mm). Can
drill holes for stringing or to add wire? Acording to the supplier th turq. is natural, polished, some are waxed. Most pieces are on the thi side, 4 mm or so. Thanks for any input. Caro
I don't reccomend ruining a perfectly good cab by putting a hole in it--but that's just me... ;-)
ANYhoo--turquoise is one of the easiest stones to drill or cut--cos it's so soft. Just drill with a small diamond drill bit stuck in a dremel or something. Don't inhale the dust!! Try and drill it under water--a small shallow dish of water will keep it cool while drilling and will lessen the inhaling risks.
