[QUOTE="Badge, post: 641414, member: 21082"] My other partly finished project now all done ( a corundum boulle chunk I did earlier that was just too rough). Tomorrow I can begin with some of the rougher sapphires from Rubyvale/Sapphire. I don't trust my faceting to do the good ones so they are going to be cut elsewhere, I suppose Lamberts in Thailand. Unless someone has a better idea like a local. The zircons as well with one of them probably large enough for me to cut but isn't inclusion free. I was told to ask for the better quality stones to be cut to Australian standards, I suppose that means to the correct design and not just cover the pavillion with facets? If so I'll be asking for that with a few for sure. I'm really starting to enjoy this faceting. But not to the point I'd risk good stones until I'm more confident. Cheers. Badge. [/QUOTE]
