adrenalin Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 Greetings all, Here is a new one for me.... I got this in the mail today: So, what is the best way to remove the crystal without having shards explode and lacerate a major artery? I have a crystal press, but am concerned that it will further fracture and leave residual pieces. All the crystals (so far) that I have removed have been intact. Any suggestions? Thanks! -K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offshore Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 Just remove the movement, and pop the crystal with your thumbs, over a waste paper basket! If you are super concerned about shards and pieces flying, put the whole lot inside a plastic bag, and pop the crystal from the outside.

RWG Technical Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 Place a piece of masking tape on the outside of the crystal, then press it out from inside as per normal. The tape will help keep the shards from flying everywere... RG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
