All Things Faceting

[maialetto]

This looks like a good place to post my favorite stones from the ones I've cut. I had to stop cabbing (that's why I'm inactive on this board), but I still do some faceting. But I plan to restart cabbing hopefully not in a long time. :)

This is my favorite faceting design to cut. And I like to cut it in quartz. Here it is a nice family photo:


This is my favorite combination cut, so far:


My favorite feldspar:


My favorite (?) tourmaline:


When I show this citrine quartz to people in person they cannot stop staring at it. Hypnotic...


Last a gem "made in USA" (literally: it's Oregon sunstone and I cut it in the US* ~ 1 month ago)



* Yup, I've moved back to US...

Greetings, I have this purple spinel and wonder if you folks know anything about this type of faceting? It is 19k gold (often used in Portugal). Estimated age around 200 years old. Thank you.
