[QUOTE="Dihusky, post: 522042, member: 10304"] Been away from the machine for a while, needed to get some urgent renovations done as our daughter was spending a month with us while doing her last practice session to complete her nursing degree. That's out of the way now as are Channel 7, who've filming at the building I manage for the last 8 weeks. Damned out of control juggernaut and causing me no end of grief :mad: for no financial reward to the Body Corp only problems :argh: So had a relaxing weekend on a nice little Garnet for a client, ended up with a 2ct stone which really catches the fire in the right light. [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/10304/1574075420_2ct-pyrope-garnet-2.jpg[/img] I think I might cut something really special next, been waiting to start this one for a while: [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/10304/1574076017_sapphire-1-24.25ct.jpg[/img] This is one end of the rough, the other is even bigger and will come later. At 24.25ct the stone has been cleaned of all inclusions and has had a basic preform, think it's going to be pretty special though will end up a bit dark as it has a green cross table ;) [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/10304/1574076182_cleaned-up.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
