Well diamonds would be cut for less loss, quartz not a huge concern, I imagine; and diamonds are faceted even when they're microscopic, a tiny quartz would be a waste of time to do all that work for.

Oh I did I absolutely love gemstones and I think the people who create such timeless works of art are not given enough credit for their gifts. Gemstones are the earth in its purest form! A masterpiece of time, random chemistry, and great powers of heat and pressure. Gem cutters take that perfect piece of earth and set it free to be the beautiful piece art that it is and it will last forever! It's just amazing once you think about it. Each gem you cut has the ability to exist as long as this planet (or longer) will with so many lives getting to enjoy its beauty through out time. Do you sell finished stones? I just have to ask sorry.

Once you cut a couple of gems you'll find faceting very addictive. Be prepared to make many mistakes. But the end result will be very rewarding.

Beautiful, thanx ))))

Hello, Lovely video showing the process and attractive result. There were some aspects of the process I imagined incorrectly (making the girdle) and others I'd wondered about (the transfers and centering). When faceting various minerals are the facet angles adjusted to match the various index of refraction values? So is a round brilliant zircon faceted with different angles than a diamond?

@VintageTimeGems

6 жыл бұрын

Paul Cooper Yes the angles are changed to the refractive index of the particular gem in question. Diamond has a high refractive index so most angles work. Thats why most diamonds are usually cut to weight.

Thank you for that process, I had no idea that the girdle was first to Be faceted. It really helps my brain to see the order of things. Nice job on the video also, well presented, without all the chatter Of someone’s knowledge interrupting the wonderful process. Really Learned a lot!!! Dave, lighting bolt forge.

Absolutely stunning! 😳
