I can't believe that is amethyst, it's full of fire.

[@VintageTimeGems]

Thanks Martyn.

[@ltpaulbtv]

Wow! Love the design! Awesome job Cliff! Jaws you're amazing! LOL

[@VintageTimeGems]

Thanks.

[@bobanders4789]

Cliff, how about a video without music so we can hear your machine as you hear it, I think it would be helpful!

[@markturner9293]

I think thats a great idea.

[@popomomo12]

Despite cutting tribulations, the resulting gem has very nice scintillation play, especially for quartz.

[@VintageTimeGems]

Thanks Paul. It won't win a competition. But it is a great looking gem.

Hello, how are you, can you help me? I would like to know the polishing discs. From 0 to the end. Thanks for your kindness

Such beauty from all that work and effort. That design is awesome.

[@VintageTimeGems]

Thanks John.

[@lazyh-online4839]

Awesome work, you're one of the reasons I'm motivated to make my own faceting machine. Can't wait to start faceting and building upon the knowledge I've gained from watching masters such as yourself.

Perfeita Ametistas e que brilho lindo.

[@bustergonad3975]

As always your research and personal critique and Jaws POV...is most amusing. I ask...are any of the budget lapping machines good for a newbie. OR..Should one join a Lapidary club ?

[@VintageTimeGems]

I'd start with a Gem Club first.

[@FatKidBrody]

G'day Cliff and Jaws. Great looking stone. I think I will file this cut away for a later date. Not sure I want to tackle it yet.

[@VintageTimeGems]

Thanks Ricky. Let me know how you go if you facet it. Cheers

What a beautiful Amethyst. That crown looks incredibly complex. It turned out beautiful. I will go back again to listen about the girdle issues and how you handled them. Thank you Cliff. Its was cool to see Jaws in action conquering the Orbiter ride while you conquering the Orbiter gem design.

[@VintageTimeGems]

Thanks Tam. The crown was so difficult, and it took forever to facet. I really nice looking gem.

Wow excellent job. Sir can u let me know how much time will it take to learn this art of gem cutting. And how much it will cost for the equipments. I love this art.

Hi cliff, good to see you cutting gems again in your videos. Can I ask if you can use an aluminium master lap and diamond paste for polishing? You may of answered this in previous videos. Many thanks

[@VintageTimeGems]

Ho Tony, my master lap is a brass, the diamond paste is a pre polish paste. Cheers
