- 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
Cliff este e mais um lindo trabalho. Vc me fascina com seus trabalhos e hoje estou mais orgulhoso por vc mostrar nossa bandeira no seu video e ainda comentou que o brazil e um maravilhoso pais . E verdado amo meu paiz obrigado tenho aprendido muito com seus trabalhos muito obrigado 🤩🤩🤩 love you all
Never in my life have I known that topaz is so beautiful, thank you for letting me know that
Thank you
Wow , love that gamma cut . I will be learning to facet at the clubhouse in june ,i'll make this my first design to cut .
I think you will enjoy the Gamma design. Not too difficult either.
I like that. You don’t even notice any imperfections in the gem. Good stuff
Thanks John.
Thank you for sharing. I love watching you create beautiful gems! You are an excellent teacher. I may get to try my hand at lapidary soon. I look forward to more.
Thank you Debbie.
You do a great job .I enjoyed it.Thanks.
Your videos are so relaxing to watch, amazing work!
Thank you
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.
Absolutely stunning. Great job again Cliff.
Thanks Ian.
Just BEAUTIFUL!! My wedding ring contains a blue topaz center stone, though I'm not sure exactly which "blue" it is.
Thanks Jo Ann...
Wow what a gorgeous stone! I love that color. Great work Cliff. Thank you for sharing your expertise with us. See ya in the next one.

Lindas gemas e é like!
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.
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!

Does it hurt to facet ur finger
When you were talking about the irradiation, is it possible to cut them gem first and then irritate it to get the color
Yes it can be irradated after cutting. Best done before as heat will expose flaws.
Hello I have some rough precious stones and I want to touch your professional hand on it Please provide me with a means of communication and thanks
i have a ~11,340 carat (5 pounds) citrine looking quartz. perfect quality completely clear no inclusions. i was wondering where on earth to send it?
Co cong mai ben ,gap nhieu mau gem.
I just watched for 18 minutes to not see the finish? At least the completed one was good enough in the last 30 seconds.
Not sure what you mean? The video is a bit over 15 minutes long.
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.
London blue .... whhhhaaaaat nooooooo Swiss blue
