Woah, that's a sparkler, Sue!! Congratulations!! An awesome achievement!! I've read that the judging of faceted gems is quite strict.

Saw your stone in the Lapidary section on Gemology Online first.

Used to participate on the forum.

I love faceted gemstones and collect them (especially garnets) like a crazy person.

I too have thought about learning faceting. Would be perfect for the winter months while my messy equipment is outside hibernating.

Updated photo: One of the members of the USFG (faceting guild) volunteers to take pictures of competition stones. So, I carefully wrapped my baby up, sent it to CA, and this is what I got back!

I saw that stone before. The photographer linked to it in a email group. I had no idea this thread was the same stone. That is truly gorgeous. The facets are so sharp the edges look like they could cut you. Wow!!!

Is the light square on the table frosted or a reflection of the light source??

Dang, you are good!!

No frosting on this one. I have got to get back to my rocks and stones! Work has tied me up for three months and I haven't cut a thing! I hope my cab machine doesn't rust over!!!!

Thanks for all the compliments.

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
