Faceted stones - Gallery

That it did. I'm very happy with it, actually.

that's a nice peice of serpentine; what did you have to use to polish such a soft stone??? I have a 3 lb peice of semi transparent; its exactly like our BC nephrite with the black inclusions, excepting the hardness, that my son found while digging drainage ditches in Vancouver.

Polished with diamond, while I usually use tinoxide for serpentine when cabbing.. it didn't work for faceting.

This is so fresh of the dop, I haven't weighted it yet! But its an oregon sunstone cut into a free-form cut. :)

Thanks Meee and Todd! :)

At it again! Yup, this time a bicolour citrine that needed a re-cut - it had a chipped girdle which needed repair.
Ended up at 5.56 cts.

Good repair, cant even notice where the chip was.
I'm going to try and cab, since I dont facet, a rainbow sunstone. If it works I'll enter it in the monthly contest.

Sounds sweet Rock!

Way to go Willie... so good to have been able to watch your journey.. look at ye now!

Thanks Todd - due to the chip it couldn't be set in jewellery. It was that bad.


Thanks mee! Yeah, I've been doing progress.

Nice job on the recut.  Pretty stone!

[Eu_citzen]

Lets start with a topaz, around 3 cts. Included, used it to wear in a new lap.



And a oregon sunstone, 6.7 cts or so. Its a tad more yellow in real life.

Looking good Willie.
