Popped off dop after first set of facets cut on crown, re glued 3 or 4 times before getting sort of close so I could polish that set and finishing cutting and polishing last two rows and table. Didn't get meet points very close but all in all I am pleased with it.
Also cut a Aquamarine, Blue Topaz and Garnet.

Thanks for looking

Steve

I've never faceted but I hear it takes a lot of work and patience. WTG that you can do that and do it so well.

Just some tweaking here and there. The machine and lap cost is the biggest thing.

Those are sweet!! Love the sunstone. Someday, I'm going to learn how to use my faceting machine, so I can make some beauties like that (yeah, right, after about a hundred years of trying!).

Thanks for sharing those. Jean

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)
