Been busy cutting and fabricating for others thought I would just take photos of a stone I cut this morning for a client. I started with a 19.8ct piece of Contra Luz water clear Mexican Opal ![](http://i397.photobucket.com/albums/pp59/christopherlesso/4%20Blake/111_1228.jpg) The client wanted a heart shaped stone. Here is the pre-form ![](http://i397.photobucket.com/albums/pp59/christopherlesso/4%20Blake/111_1282.jpg) and a couple of the stone. I managed to pull off a 47% return on the rough producing a 9ct 15mm x 14.8mm x 7.75mm gemstone ![](http://i397.photobucket.com/albums/pp59/christopherlesso/4%20Blake/111_1285.jpg) ![](http://i397.photobucket.com/albums/pp59/christopherlesso/4%20Blake/111_1306.jpg) ![](http://i397.photobucket.com/albums/pp59/christopherlesso/4%20Blake/111_1286.jpg) ![](http://i397.photobucket.com/albums/pp59/christopherlesso/4%20Blake/111_1321.jpg) Not a lot of sun out today like there was yesterday when I took photos of the rough for approval so the cab doesn't pop as much. Here is a photo of the heart in my fingers in a momentary break in the clouds....please forgive the tore up fingers...the wheels have been getting me!! ![](http://i397.photobucket.com/albums/pp59/christopherlesso/4%20Blake/111_1307.jpg)
