Now those are some SWEEEEEET Cuts! The Labradorite is so flashy. I like the purple/blue colors. The Green is amazing as well. It looks like some solid material. Steve

I'm curious about that beautiful chrysocolla. I have access to a nice piece at a nice price, but how do you plan to deal with the undercutting issue? It looks like a problem to me.
The labradorite is equally lovely, you going to dome them or keep as flats? The Finnish material I've worked with seems to demand flats, or you just grind all the flash off, from what I've seen.

I guess I did a good buy lol the Lab. will most probably be a low or flat cab in order to retain the flashy The chrysocolla I havent worked with yet so the answer will have to wait , but we have talked about trying to stabilize it first as the edges did kind of '' melt '' away

Wolf: How about capping the Lab with optical quartz for a nice domed doublet? Then you do not have to worry about grinding away the flash like I do. Woody
