Thanks for watching! The cut on gem makes all the difference! :D

Thanks! Never too late to get back into cutting! Let us know if you have any questions.

Thanks! If you live or visit anywhere near Crown Point, Indiana you can!

I come from the Crown Point area. Nice to know you are here.

Your welcome thanks for watching

+Robert like It should be up soon. Maybe in the future sometime, we do cut that style all the time. It does take a while to put these together and it's tough to make the time while running a shop. If you have any questions when your cutting one, please feel free to ask.

Thanks for watching!

Debra Regul hello dear we have

Tables are tough but if you attached properly it should not be a problem. Sounds terrible when polishing as everyone in the shop can tell when you are polishing the table.

We do not. We only cut colored gemstones. Diamond cutting is very similar, but they just use slightly different equipment and techniques.

We generally (when possible) send it back to the manufacturer to have the machines calibrated. Unfortunately two of our machines are no longer manufactured/in business, so if we have calibration issues we will need to find another method as well. If you find out any information on DIY calibration, please let us know!

You can purchase a machine from www.kingsleynorth.com/ or www.ultratec-facet.com/. If you go to the first introductory video and look in the video description there are a couple of books that we recommend to help you.

We've never used one, so unfortunately wouldn't be able to give you a review. If you look at our introductory video (video 1) description, we have a couple machines that we recommend on there.

It is call “attack” an epoxy solvent

This was just one part of our 7 part series... See the finished citrine here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RGqxD8I4IKQ.html

Hey, check out this machine. It’s currently the one we are recommending: www.moregems.com/pages/cutting-faceting-machines-1?gclid=Cj0KCQiAw8OeBhCeARIsAGxWtUzUiFFy93eC72CoWgoDoJeuhVoJYtDDSQmglsTxHQbw4OhZL3aGhpUaAiUEEALw_wcB

It's just distilled water.

@@Moregems what was that the white stuff in the video before that you put on in the middle on the blue pad it was in a medicine bottle applied with qtips

Sorry can't help you with that. We do not know, you'll have to look elsewhere.

Unfortunately we don't do any outside cutting work. All the gems we cut are to sell in our shop as a loose gem or we custom design a mounting around the gem for our jewelry stock.

Not too sure, it's built into the machine.

Ahmed Basha where

iImperial alpha taurus.

Yes just last week I did a recut of a 4.87 carat natural unheated padparadscha sapphire. It was poorly cut with a large window. I closed the window increasing the brilliance significantly. Finished at 4.42 carats. Just went out to the Gemological Institute of America for a lab report. I previously had it graded to make sure it was the real thing before I spent the time cutting. A great stone of significant value due to its extreme rarity.

MoreGems.com please post photos when you can

It is! Our shop is located in what was once a bank, so it came with the vault!

Thats great! I have allways liked the geometry of geme stone, Thank you for sharing this!

How much is what?

Gotta keep the gems safe!

Doubtful, it is very difficult to identify and give a value via images or video over the internet. If you were local and could stop into our shop, we could do an appraisal for you. We could possibly quickly try to identify them if you wanted to send us a couple images via messenger on our facebook page: facebook.com/moriartysgemart

The gem Steve is cutting is a citrine.

ok thanks

They no longer make the machine I am using, but if you go to the text description of the first introductory video, you will see all of the equipment listed there. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-w6FEaxgSNgg.html
