yes very much philippines,
all my stones are local

It is not an area on interest that I am actually into, and often get puzzled by some stones. HOWEVER...These are really nice and I adore the cupped display attachments to the Dai. May I ask if the stones were found in the condition that they are displayed in...apart from being cleaned.

hi mike, on my previous answer to you, when i say GRIND AND POLISH,i use cup brush to take out unneccessary dirt and residue then clean it very thoroughly with detergent etc....NO CUTTING OR ALTERATION WAS MADE,these stone are found in brackish water thats why of its round shape.if you have other qustion i will be more than willing to share and answer,thanks and best regards
