Looks great, unusual for glass to hold that depth of colour, found it often kind of washes out as you cut. Happy Father-in-law = happy wife = happy life

Think I met him once at the Sapphire markets - old German bloke like Max, though not as "mad" as Max

Unfortunately not always unharmed. Last year went to re-polish a 2ct Lava Plains square cut sapphire after some heat treatment I had done. Somehow landed on the tiled floor with dop attached. Huge chunk of corner, gone. 8.(
Disposed of in disgust.

He's got a nice BMW Roadster for sale, could see you in it.

The only damage I've ever seen done to one was when a mate gave someone an 11 ct yellow (faceted) from his old lease - bloke took it outside to look at it in the sun and dropped it on the concrete while holding it in the grabbers, so it was sort of smacked between hammer and anvil, putting some little chips on it that are a little too big to polish out.
I'm sure your mate would of nearly been crying over such a beautiful stone getting smashed and the other bloke hasn't been invited back since I'd imagine.
