What is the best way to drill quartz Chrystal for making jewelry?
I have several Agates and quartz stones that I would like to drill. Any help would be appreciated.
A diamond impregnated drill used at high speed with plenty of running water for cooling is best for home use. Commercial drillers use ultrasonic drills which are quicker but the equipment is very costly and out of the price range for most amateurs.
