You made this for me! I just wish I had the finances to buy it. Our Aussie dollars isn't doing to well compared to yours. Maybe, sometime in future, you may be inspired to create another one and talior it to my specifications? Therefore, it will not be the same item. It's so beautiful that it breaks my heart not to be able to buy it. I'll just hold out for the future.🇦🇺👩🏼🎨💖🦄
I noticed you didn’t remove the epoxy from first dap before grinding the crown. Isn’t there a concern about the epoxy affecting the health of the grinding pads? I woulda thought when grinded down that stuff is a nightmare for the grinding medium like it is in wood working.
Oh wow…. Now that is a cut I want to try I love that! Did you plan to make it look like a cross in the center of the table? The pavilion facets are too hard to see by eye as far as how you aligned them. I would seriously love to try this cut I’m sure it’s private so I understand! But just for fun I would be honored to cut something unique like that!
This gem is around 9.4 carats I believe. It will be released for sale with price and full details on this Wednesday’s live streaming gem show here: ru-vid.com4oTMYjV8yIA?si=eZG8Wk4eF-nvLxRe
When the fellow chipped out some rock .. using a rock .. I was thinking .. I bet he'd love a shiny new Estwing Rock Hammer !! But more importantly, I did see a couple slivers of Kyanite but I'm curious what the Yellowish mineral was ? And are they precursor minerals that help lead the miners to Tanzanite ?
I have watched 1khrs of vids about stuff I like. I don't know if I have ever been more intrigued by the process you're doing. I love silver, gold and sparkling stones, you have me very happy
You had me at $192,375 time to hunt down some pretty rocks and buy a couple machines lol. In all seriousness, this is an incredible work of art and your craftsmanship is on another planet.
I have 22kt gold teeth and use Colgate total and don’t have a single scratch the dentist recommended only use Colgate as crest does scratch gold because of the the hard stuff they use in their paste
I do when I can but in this case the cutoffs are small and you risk the size of the larger stone and the larger gem has more value per carat. Smaller gems will have less color and therefore less value
Thanks for referring us the faceting machine! I purchased one of the Vevor models off of Amazon as an entry point but I cannot recommend it. The primary issue I have had is poor water containment at normal operating speeds. Coupled with insufficient protection of the motor and other internal electrical components makes it potentially dangerous at worst and definitely can cause it to completely stop operating at best. Always be careful when dealing with water and high voltage equipment! I will check out the UltraTec V5 👍
Something interesting about wintergreen oil (methyl salicylate) is that it is also used in the vitrification of animal tissues making them optically transparent. Personally I find the practice a bit macabre but it does have legitimate uses in studying morphology, particularly in the field of developmental biology.
