Gorgeous! I've just discovered Montana sapphires, and I'm hooked!
Thank you.
Thanks for the video! Love seeing montanas, they're up there on my shortlist of favorite stones. Thanks for the tip of using a large dop to get positioning and then replacing it with a small one! That's going to be super useful for me!
You are welcome! 🙂
That is a big Montana Sapphire the largest I have used were only about 2 crt. You did a beautiful job.
Thank you!
Saving up for my machine I’ll be cutting soon 💪🏾
I think you will enjoy gem cutting very much! Best of luck!
.Greetings from New York .. God Bless You..
Thank you!
Nice job there Mike! Do you think that this Sunset Vista design would work for smaller sapphires? the rough that I just mined from Montana is about 1.2 crt. Thanks
Yes, I think the design will work for smaller Montana sapphires.
Prior to faceting, the surface was smooth & seemed polished - was it tumbled?
I believe that the mine owner did tumble these to make it easier to examine them.
Tenho muitas pedras pra lapidar só não tenho o maquinário
Are there any gem faceting clubs near you? If so, they often have machines you can use.
Am I the only one seeing the interior flaws in this stone?
Nope. This stone has some inclusions. I wish I could always find internally flawless gemstones..sigh....HEY...yesterday, I picked up three pieces of NATURAL Bixbite aka Red Beryl which came from the Wha Wha mountains of Utah....hint - when I cut this material, which is VERY RARE, it will also have inclusions. :-)
