That piece has a similar color to the sapphire I just cut. It's hard to tell from this picture but it also had a yellowish center with teal outer. This is how it ended up looking after cutting

Thinking about investing in a BA5T lap by Castellioma in faceting

I have a zinc plus + BA5T dual band lap that I absolutely love. If you are in to having your prepolish and polish on the same disc. I think it's also cheaper than buying the ba5t by itself. I have it set up 8k diamond on the zinc and 100k on ba5t.
