I've made my own jewelry since I was a teen. One of my favorite stones is clear quartz. When I buy quartz beads I buy only clear quartz beads with polished holes. They cost extra but it's well worth it. The clarity is stunningly beautiful. Sometimes I string the beads with clear monofilament & it looks like the beads are floating in the air. Other times I'll string the beads with a color coated, braided wire. The color effect is really nice too. I frequently grow bored with my jewelry, take it apart & make new, different pieces. Never a dull moment! That huge clear quartz stone that you cut & faceted is simply magnificent. Kudos!
I'm a Goldsmith in Ireland. I have a good idea what well cut stone should look like; no facet overlaps, no scratch marks, you can see into the heart of the stone. This, sir, is excellent work.
I've never been interested stone cutting before. The closest I've ever come is watching videos about blacksmithing. I have no idea why this video showed up in my feed, but I was absolutely entranced for the entire 20 minutes.
This randomly showed up in my recommended and I’m so glad I clicked. Amazing craftsmanship, and you’re clearly very passionate about the work you do. Awesome work, sir!
I am a graduate gemmologist (yep, we use an extra ‘m’ in the UK) and have always been in awe of the ability of gem cutters to create such incredibly beautiful stones from rough crystals. I’m aware of how much thought and consideration goes into the process the get the most from the rough whilst ensuring the best outcome and it amazes me how talented you are. One of my fellow students is a cutter and often shared his creations with us which were fabulous. Thanks for an insightful and interesting video. Will definitely be following you now.
As a retired locksmith I must say that's about the most perfect and beautiful doorknob I've ever seen. Now you need to make another since they come in pairs!
I finally know what stone I picked up in the middle of nowhere. Its clear quartz. I was hundreds of miles from any town, so I knew it wasn't glass. I knew it had to be a rock, and thats why I picked it up. After 11 years, I now know what Im going to do with it. Thanks Matt, sick video!
@@brunopanizzi Not sure yet. Have someone professionally wrap it as it is, because cutting it might remove too much, or if they think they can keep alot of stone there, maybe I might have it cut.
Please, you must still wear a respirator even though you're using water. Quartz dust is a known carcinogen, and it can be fine enough to atomize even in water mist.
2:18 there's enough dust there already to cover the working surface. Silicosis basically is like glass dust in your lungs. They go in, they never come back out and they create microscale trauma everywhere which leads to inflammation which both destroys lung tissue and can lead to cancer. Bacon is a carcinogen by extraordinarily weak epidemiological evidence from large scale population level reviews of people's diets, which are based on questionnaires where people estimate what they ate for an entire year. The mechanism is a lot of hand waving about nitrates and the WHO's recommendation was heavily influenced by "plant based diet" advocacy. Silicosis is extremely well established, irreversible, and an unquestionable occupational hazard. I've seen people in their 30s and 40s who need lung transplants because of it, from finishing artificial quartz countertops. Please take precautions. Nobody deserves that fate.
I love getting random videos like this in my recommended. It's like getting a window into another world! I'm a textile artist, but I love learning about all kinds of different mediums and disciplines!
I’m not a stone guru but my dad is, so I’ve seen quite a few quartz in my life so far. And let me say. That is one of the clearest and largest clear quartz I have EVER seen.
Randomly showed up. Had no idea how much work and mechanical thinking goes into something like this. The result is definitely worth the work put in. Brilliant!
I have heard about cutting gems of various types throughout my life, but to actually see the equipment and the process has been a real treat. The myriad facets, and their effects on the light is amazing. I thank you for allowing me to watch your work, while you explained the steps, and their reasons.
I've never watched a stone get faceted before your video showed up in my feed. I feel privileged to watch you turn that large rough crystal into a beautiful gem. Keep up the awesome work.
The same thing happened to me. He just popped up into my feed. However, everything I read about gem cutters is that they *need* to wear respirators to prevent silicosis.
The geometry on this stone is incredible and the view into the stone after polishing the first facet was so cool. I think it's easy to take for granted that a stone like this needs to be cut by someone. Someone like you needs to put in many, many hours of extremely precise work for it to look the way it does when it's finished. I imagine that if you try to cut or polish one of those facets and the angle is off by even one degree it's gonna cause big problems. Considering all that just makes the finished piece even more impressive. This is so cool!
That was a gorgeous cut. I’m 70 years. I worked in the jewelry on canal street jewelry exchange. Also 47 street jewelry exchange in the late 60’s. Beautiful work young man. 🌈🌈👍🙏🍎🌅🇱🇷🍷
When I was a kid, my mom told me I should be a jeweler but I always pursued other creative, artistic fields, however this, sir, wow. It makes me question my life decisions. Stunning, really.
I just keep picturing the old crystal door knobs from my grandparent's home...those were so beautiful! What a grand job and the client's reaction says it all!
19:27 I like how it's so bright that *it makes blazing points of light on the inside of Paul's hand* inside his store when his store just looks like it has normal lighting.
Oh my gosh it is wonderful. I wish I could learn to do this. But I’m a 77 year old woman and I probably couldn’t do it as much as I would like to learn how but I love all of this and I would love to learn how to do it. Man I admire that you are self taught!
Wow! 8 hours of polishing! Amazing! Your video came randomly to my feed and so glad it did. You are so talented and being self-taught shows your motivation to release the beauty in each stone. Awesome work!
Now that's not something you see every day. I'm an old guy and ever since I was a little boy I've loved gem stones. Used to collect semi-precious stones. It must run in my family because my uncle also cut them and made belt buckles for men. My brother was manager of a jewelry store and one of closest friends in a jeweler. Thanks for showing this gorgeous stone. Quartz or not, it's stunning. I'm subscribing to make sure I don't miss anything you do in the future. Thanks for a great video.
I agree with you...I cut with oil and water in my rock shop setup and after hearing about older lapidary people laughing at using a respirator who are now dealing with silicosis, I use a respirator no matter what I'm doing...it's just not worth the risk.
Indeed! And he seems well in his way to such a problem. You can hear that his breathing is rather laboured and rapid, which may mean that there has already been significant damage to the lung tissue. *PLEASE USE A RESPIRATOR AND SEE A DOCTOR TO LOOK FOR POSSIBLE DAMAGE TO THE LUNGS!*
I was going to make a wisenheimer comment about how this was the fanciest doorknob I've ever seen, but I must admit you are a true artist. Bravo! You have made a subscriber out of me.
Truly fascicinating and absolutely amazing. This is my first time to watch and observe this process. You are gifted with a very unique skill. I never realized how much is involved in doing this, and the precision and time it takes to produce something so beautiful.
the way that shop owner gasped for air was everything and more, he was breathtaking by your work and I bet he knows a lot about gemstones than I know, so huge respect to you and your work.
What a beautiful stone. Your cutting was so 🎉 as i have wondered how these stones were cut and the size of this one makes the cutting of it a very clear process. You are so talented, sir.
This video was facet-nating! 💎 But no seriously, very interesting and beautiful! Makes you wonder how they used to do this sort of work before modern machinery.
Incredible work! I have heard people refer to large faceted stones as doorknobs before, but I think this is the first one I have ever seen that was actually large enough to do so! Looks like it's right at the limit of your machine, too! The stone is nearly as large as the radius of your lap!
Yes, it was close to the limit of what I could do on my machine. I compared it with the doorknobs in my house, and the stone was a bit bigger, by over 10mm.
Grew up in a Home that had crystal doorknobs. Hard to find replacements for the older ones. Think the house was built around 1910. @@MattsCornerofGemCutting
I've heard people say that sculpture is taking an object and chipping away every piece of it that isn't a masterpiece, and this is the best example of this process that I've ever watched.
I hope this goes viral for you. You certainly put in the time; both in that stone in particular and building the skills that allowed you to cut it so beautifully. It was fun to see your problem solving when you hit an obstacle. I would have liked a little bit showing your use of the program to reconfigure the design for the crown. Maybe a little also to why you chose that particular shape/angles. Is it because of how quartz refracts light compared to other gemstones? Do you have to keep the angles within certain bounds to maximize the internal light reflection?
It's the first time I've come across this, I don't really follow stone or gem cutting, but this is amazing. That's a real-time served skill, glad I came across it...
Absolutely the most beautiful cut quartz i have ever seen. I have seen other large gems cut and i never was all that impressed with them.

I'm currently listening to a fascinating podcast called Empire, and it's covering the Koh-i-Noor diamond at the moment so no doubt this is why your channel popped up in my feed. I'm glad it did, this was so brilliant to watch. I've never seen a stone cut before. Your work is incredibly beautiful. I wouldn't want to give it back :-)
This popped up on my feed and with my love of sparkly things,I had to watch.Oh man am I glad I did! What you did with that stone was AMAZING! Absolutely stunning.That will make an incredible addition to someone's collection.You said that you are self-taught;well,you taught yourself very,very well indeed! I'm so glad the opportunity to watch you work and see the end result,presented itself this evening!
Well done 😎👍 Certainly an epic task. I was a bit surprised by the jump in grits but obviously you didn’t have an issue. Polishing the pavilion culet first rather than the break facets was something new for me.
Really really nice!!! Like others have commented - I am not sure why the RUclips algorithm recommended this (i.e. I don't remember watching any prev videos about gemology) but I'm so glad it was recommended. Watching you analyze, cut, and carefully grind/polish this large piece of quartz ...turning it into this beautiful stone was a pleasure to watch! Looking forward to checking out the other videos on your channel! Cheers!
That large stone placed in a setting that can be hung from the ceiling in a window during the day where the sun shines in would be a beautiful display of dancing light and colors.
Great video thanks but, that music in the clip does not do you any favours. It really distracts from your work. Nothing like hearing the machine and seeing the skill. I've subscribed and looking forward to learning more from a fellow cutter.
That was a project and a half!😅 I was very happy when I finally had it finished!
Why not soak the end you’re removing the attachment from in acetone so it comes off?
Imagine if you had a diamond that big.
Started with super glue&then just stuck with it😂😂😂 killer oun&killer gem cuttin!!
I can't even comprehend what happens if you make a mistake...
Is clear quartz very different than just glass (maybe structurally)?
I've made my own jewelry since I was a teen. One of my favorite stones is clear quartz. When I buy quartz beads I buy only clear quartz beads with polished holes.

Please, you must still wear a respirator even though you're using water. Quartz dust is a known carcinogen, and it can be fine enough to atomize even in water mist.
Bacon is a class 1 carcinogen also, but I see a lot of people eat it

You are correct. Silicosis is no joke. Has similar effects to mesothelioma. Deathly disease.

Something a Gen-Z, Beta male would say, throw in a Marlboro Black cigarette and get to grinding, I wouldn’t even have pants on
3:32 oh Jesus, this song. good old YT.😊
This came up in my feed first first time I viewed your work. It’s awesome seeing a true craftsman that does a fine job.🙏🙏
As a Data Technician i can say thats a very high quality manual gear lever
Liking these videos but the music is making it very difficult to watch
That large stone placed in a setting that can be hung from the ceiling in a window during the day where the sun shines in would be a beautiful display of dancing light and colors.
You might want wear a mask.Quartz I lungs is Terrible
The faces you make while grinding made this worth the watch 😊
Awesome video, except for the music but still, great video!
call me crazy but i see an extreme lack of carrots in this video
Thanks
Great video thanks but, that music in the clip does not do you any favours. It really distracts from your work. Nothing like hearing the machine and seeing the skill. I've subscribed and looking forward to learning more from a fellow cutter.
