[QUOTE="Dihusky, post: 593241, member: 10304"] Larger rough can be cut into pieces, it's often done when there are fracture lines in a large rough, then one looks at faceting a number of smaller stones off the one large rough. I posted an example of this last year with 3 Sapphires cut from one piece of rough. [url]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/search.php?search_id=1389136751&p=10[/url] scroll down to post 273. You can clearly see the fracture line in the rough, this was the first saw cut and the off cut produced the biggest of the 3 gems. [/QUOTE]
