  • Welcome to the world of faceting gemstones. Join me as I facet gems from all over the world. In this video you will see me cutting a "Gamma Brilliant" design in London Blue Topaz from Brazil. London Blue Topaz is considered to be the most valuable of all the topaz colors.

    The sequence of you cutting the table is especially helpful

      I think you will enjoy the Gamma design. Not too difficult either.

    Hi Cliff, I have watched all your gemology related videos and feel I learn so much from them. You answer so many of my questions with your narration. Your work inspires me and is growing my desire to visit Australia. Both for the beauty and diversity of your country and well as a desire to rockhound and discover my own stones.
    Your work is beautiful and I am learning the importance of each step in the process.
    I would love to see some future videos where you are repairing a damaged stone where at some point in the process your stone became damaged say by a crack or chip or where in the process of faceting a defect is discovered and you explain what the options are to correct it and you proceed to do so. Or recutting a discovered poorly cut stone in to a better one.
    One thing that intimidates me is cutting a tiny stone. People have said that it is easier because you cut less facets. That is the smallest stone you have cut in carat weight?
    Have a great day Cliff and thank you for sharing your lapidary knowledge with the world.
    Best regards,
    Tam

      Thanks Tam. Smaller gems are easier to facet as there is far less work. But the main reason is that small facets are so much easier to polish.

    Stunning content. I'm reaching my use by date but genuinely want to do this apart from doing laser welding and some engraving by hand or by pneumatic means. How can I acquire this lapping machine. I remember once over 40 years ago waiting endlessly for people to get off using the facetting machine in a Lapidary club. It was such a clique they ruined any passion I had then. Now I'm older and a little wiser. How do I proceed to cut or lap?. Your teaching while explaining is very soothing of my soul.

    • @RICDirector
      @RICDirector 5 лет назад

      See if the club knows of someone selling out of their equipment; if you're nice,, and they're in a good mood, you can get a good deal. Failing that, look at Craigslist, and failing THAT, hit Amazon and actual manufacturer websites (and online rock shops). Good luck and have fun!

    When you were talking about the irradiation, is it possible to cut them gem first and then irritate it to get the color

    • @VintageTimeGems
      @VintageTimeGems  5 лет назад

      Yes it can be irradated after cutting. Best done before as heat will expose flaws.

      Not sure what you mean? The video is a bit over 15 minutes long.

    • @VintageTimeGems
      @VintageTimeGems  5 лет назад

      What end are you talking about. The stone was fully cut and polished. It was even on a turntable rotating. Maybe you may wish to look at the vid again and see the finished product. All these positive comments and you can't find the end of the video.
