Bought a few hundred grams of unremarkable looking Andamooka crystal rough. Happily, I’m cutting some nice gems from that parcel. First one started off as a 27 cts beastie. Unfortunately, had serious flaws. had to cut it into smaller stones.
See first video.. Before cutting into smaller stones. Can’t see the sand and other flaws in this video. Just looks like an amazing 27ct top gem. This is how I prefer to remember it. Haha.
Second video shows some unfinished stones cut from the larger one.
Last video isn’t great. Doesn’t do gems justice, but shows final cut.
great looking stones, still. love the cut and finish here. what are you using for videos? getting and 18 second video uploaded is pretty good. I would love to have videos this long posted.
