Love Lemon Quartz

[@VintageTimeGems]

So do I...Regards cliff

[@tamwolf20]

Wow thank you Cliff. Your insights on irradiated quartz is great knowledge to share. That is a wonderful cut.
I have seen that some folks here in the United states have used some brands of superglue and accelerators but I had not seen one actually used before and it looked like you gave that star bond a proper testing. I don't think I have seen in any of your videos a heavy hand like that. Thank you for all you do to share.

[@VintageTimeGems]

Glad you enjoyed the video Tam. I was a tad rough on the hand technique in this video as I really wanted to test out how good this glue was. I can say there is zero flex in this glue.

[@scott27288]

[@trueherbsman]

very interesting cut there Cliff!

[@VintageTimeGems]

I liked the design. It worked out well. Some of these "Eye" designs can be problematic. Cheers

[@rockhoundingwithjasperblue]

Another great video! 💎 I wonder if you might facet a California Tourmaline, any color. (Pink). Montana Sapphire, or a champagne topaz (Utah). Lake County Diamond (unique type of Quartz-very hard and sometimes comes in a quite rare (very) light lavender color. Just throwing some ideas out there, Mate. Love all your videos!💎 Thank you!

[@VintageTimeGems]

Thanks...I would love to facet some of the gems mentioned. Montana sapphire I would like to facet. I have some of the Lavender quartz and that will appear in one of my videos, and yes it is quite rare....Cheers

Perfect Stones e gems beautful,

Çok güzle olmuş hocam .. yeni yapıştırma şekli çok piratik.. saygilar

[@VintageTimeGems]

I thought the bonding was fast and had no flex. Better than the wax. But epoxy is still good. I would use this glue on small gems 6mm or under. New technology is great.

[@Luz-xl5bk]

Is there a brand you would recommend for faceting equipment?

[@whpkld]

Hi Cliff. New to your channel and really enjoying your videos. Thanks heaps for the time and effort to put in to produce them. Just a quick question - do you know if there is an Australian distributor of the Starbond products? Cheers Wayne

[@VintageTimeGems]

Not that I'm aware of.

[@HonourEtVeritas]

Thanks for another great video Cliff! I'm looking at getting some starbond myself, do you have a coupon code available for your viewers?

[@VintageTimeGems]

Thanks Luke. I don't have a coupon code. But a subsciber said that they entered my email address and received a discount. Look in description or the about tab my email is there. Cheers Cliff

[@ManuelGarcia-ww7gj]

This would make a superb pendant for a woman with blonde hair.

[@VintageTimeGems]

I enjoyed faceting this design. The crown steps forming the eye was well thought out by the designer. Cheers
