[QUOTE="Lefty, post: 480346, member: 2976"] Yep, ya gotta be careful of cabbing machine wheels - they bite!! :D Humph! Bloody stone (plum-coloured one) has an inclusion that has just presented itself - virtually invisible from most angles but clearly visible through the side of the pavilion now. It's not a structural flaw like an open cleavage, it's like a little tiny black crystal with a plume behind it - it actually looks kind of like a rocket being launched. I guess from a collector/gemmologist/geologists point of view it adds interest. I think it's interesting myself and would like to know what it is - but I hope it doesn;t end up being visible through the crown. [/QUOTE]
