[QUOTE="Kingsolomon, post: 231004, member: 578"] It's not closed c- axis . The big problem is the 4 mm or so depth and what rough to cut said , cracking . The skin needs to Be removed and wait a few days to see if more cracks appear . Then you know , the outer skin removed releases pressure on the internal part of the crystal , then anything can happen . I've faceted up to three stones from a few like these that have started as one :)might get a Nice pair or a single out of it . [/QUOTE]
