[QUOTE="Badge, post: 639436, member: 21082"] Thanks Dughug, I've spent some time looking into faceting topaz and the first thing that came up was to offset as you described. Suggested offsets were anything from 5 to 15 degrees, so I went the average and just finished dopping my first piece at 10 degrees (or as close as I could to 10 degrees). I have two pieces so if I'm off too far I'll try 5 degrees for the next one. I didn't even know those layers were called cleavages so I've learned something already.😄 Cheers. Badge. [/QUOTE]
