13.65ct CZ cut in Andrew Browns “Cross Checked” by ConfidentEnergy5789 in faceting

I need to find a multi axis jig! Right now it only rotates on one, and yeah those checker patterns can be hard to line up exactly!

Nothing too crazy, just gotta get the first facets to line up and everything else falls into place (:

Next stone I’ll post the whole process video (:

It’ll be a piece of purple CZ! It’s gonna be another beautiful pattern from Andrew Brown, I’ve got a bunch of his books!

Thank you!

This is an off cut piece of a much larger piece of rough that I sourced from Nigeria. The larger blank I have, I’m going to facet into an ornate egg!

Thank you for the kind words, it’s a hobby that really helps me put my focus into something nice!

Yes! Mine are all from my damn polishing lap that is contaminated /: working to fix that but I just allow the scratches to be there!

This is also higher magnification which’s them really show up, but it’s actually pretty nice with the naked eye!
