[QUOTE="Dihusky, post: 586060, member: 10304"] Just tried to pull up the before shots, but the damn phone has just decided to delete all my photos :mad: ]:D Huawei :skull: Now I've got that off my chest, these are the finished shots, Amethyst was the trial cut for the design before I cut the Sapphire pair. [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/10304/1607323395_pear-test-cut.jpg[/img] A veil running right through the centre, but the cut still worked. The final result... [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/10304/1607323661_0.8ct_pair-sml.jpg[/img] Matched pair of pears 4.35mm x 6.5mm, interesting that one was 0.1ct heavier at 0.85ct and the second 0.75ct, I'm wondering if the inclusions are tiny Haematite crystals as the stone reacted to a magnet? [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/10304/1607324053_micro-crystals-sml.jpg[/img] The one on the left was a 3.6ct rough and the design needs a false pavilion culet, I stuffed up on the dimension calculations, when I got to the crown there wasn't enough material for the original design so had to go for the step crown.
