In this one, we grab out a few nice rocks from my faceting rough and follow 3 very unique patterns to create some beautiful gemstones! These patterns are the Pharaoh's eye cut, an unusual pattern that creates the image of an iris and pupil inside of the stone, the Portuguese Round, a traditional style cut that creates brilliant radiance, and a pattern I have been tweaking quite a bit to try to perfect, the Pixel cut which causes a pixelated grid inside of the stone! We decided to use smoky quartz, synthetic ruby, glass, moldavite, and Oregon sunstone and got beautiful results! I hope you all enjoy this one, and I will have another video out very soon!

@larryh9730 5 месяцев назад

I legit was coming to say the exact same thing! lol 😂 he’s funny!

@ladysccca Год назад

"I am not going to apologize for it. Sorry" Oh you sweet wonderful man! You are to kind even to say you won't say sorry for it.

@donnabeaudin9114 Год назад

They were all so beautiful, the Moldivite was gorgeous! I really enjoyed seeing you create these , and I’m learning a lot! Thanks Theo!👍👍😃

@lolajo2850 Год назад

Excellent job, Theo! I'm glad that you do what makes you happy and then share it with the world, which in turn, brings happiness to others.

@leonacrowley164 Год назад

Those are all so beautiful. I love the Pharaoh's eye with the grown ruby and the Pharaoh's eye with the smokey quarts

@sephysaurus Год назад

The Pharaoh's Eye lab grown Ruby has an amazing inner glow because of that yellow! Nice work hun. You do great things. Love your videos :)

@user-xr2gr1eb6u День назад

So beautiful!

@notinmanitou Год назад

I'd be thrilled if these stones or others like them turned up in your Etsy store. Especially the Pharaoh's eye. What a wonderful gift you have! It's fun to see you working on them. I really love to watch your rockhounding videos as I can no longer do it myself. Thank you so much for sharing.

@elainebates6967 Год назад

Theo, you have such an amazing art skill that is so wonderful to watch and then admire the end result. Well done, and I fully enjoyed watching.

@tr654tr2 Год назад

I love all of these, especially the ruby, so beautiful! The moldavite is also amazing, but so is the blue glass! Awesome! I could see you doing a whole channel called faceting fun, and I would watch it and love it! Thanks for sharing!

@dianabecker4857 2 месяца назад

I would love to see you do more. Thank you for sharing your talent. Love them all

@janegalloway4677 Год назад

I loved the moldivite & the the ruby, even the smokey quartz was nice too.

@donnalantz7981 Год назад

Absolutely gorgeous. I love all of them. Even the glass one turned out so stunning. Amazing work.

@nathanadampiper3717 Год назад

I'm just getting into lapidary things and wanted to say I've learned so much from you already. You do an amazing job!

@karenhenriksen217 Год назад

OMG Theo what can you not do? They are gorgeous. That light blue glass. OMG. Looking forward to the next video 😍♥️

@pamelaarana1942 Год назад

I love the Smokey Pharaohs Eye. It turned out lovely.

@charlotteribbens5834 Год назад

Love these cuts! So beautiful! Would love to see more of the pixelcut its so cool!

@orirune3079 9 месяцев назад

at 4:10 "I'm not going to apologize for it, I'm sorry" HMMM I love that Pharaoh's eye cut!

@shelleys6826 Год назад

Theo, you are such a talented artist! I truly love all of these, but ironically the lab ruby and glass one are my favs, with the Moldavite as a close third.

@hockeyrace Год назад

That’s a lot of gorgeousness! 🤯. Love the yellow 😳 I so want to start faceting on my machine but it’s very intimidating. Your giving me more inspiration ❤️ I’ll try it someday 😆 Love your channel and excited for Sticks and Stones 🥳 Stay Crystal 💫 Mari 😁

@gwynnfarrell1856 Год назад

They're all gorgeous, and even though the blue is glass, it's a stunner too. I've been wanting to see what sunstone looks like faceted and it's very cool. The manufactured ruby is probably my favorite for the same reason you stated, the color is so rich. I'd love to see that garnet faceted! Please do! Your patience is amazing. Thank you for taking all that time to show us how it's done.

@darlenepringle536 Год назад

That smokey 💋 love it and of course that moldivite ..they are all so pretty ..nice job and thank you for sharing

@deniseview4253 Год назад

The blue glass is my favorite cut but all are beautiful. You do a wonderful job making the gems.

@ZiggityPow Год назад

You're so fantastically multi-talented and entertaining!

@claudesarich6314 Год назад

I think the ruby and smoky look great, although all five look great. You must have a lot of patience. Great video and informative, thx for sharing 👍

@jennifershipp2599 Год назад

Natural inclusions are what makes each gem unique!

@soul_adventurist Год назад

Wow! Hard to pick a favorite but the Moldavite is my first pick. I truly like them all❤ Great job! Thanks for sharing.

@savagesquirrel9828 Год назад

Fascinating. That looks SO hard. Beautiful results from a talented guy.

@barbarazernicke6967 Год назад

Theo, you make faceting look easy. All of the stones are beautiful. I hope you do some more pixels for comparison.

@michaelboyle9889 Год назад

I would love to see more of the Faceting videos theo . You done some awesome work on them 💎👍👍

@joe51261 Год назад

Loved the cut on the blue glass. And that size would make a great broch

@kimconley4679 Год назад

I love the glass, but they're all beautiful.

@metteudengaard8831 Год назад

Love the glass one. Love the color blue 😍

@TinasTimelessTreasures Год назад

AMAZING! I love the lab created Ruby!

@darkknight-gs Год назад

Very nice work! ;) Also, remember that only red corundum is Ruby, every other color is Sapphire (same case with synthetic stones).

@andrewp.schubert2417 Год назад

This was an awesome program. All the stones turned out great.

@brendastajkowski502 Год назад

You are so very, very gifted!

@janvafa9959 Год назад

Yes facetting is fascinating!

@theresaherrrera8224 Год назад

Theo your work is beautiful 😍....As for me I would wear the blue glass....wow....love your videos 📹💜

@mariemoss2475 Год назад

Gorgeous....well if I ever could afford a lovely rough diamond I know who to send it to 😂 Beautiful work 👍🥰

@tenaedmonson1213 Год назад

@agatebeauties Год назад

Absolutely stunning! Fun to watch and very soothing!

@Mephistopholies Год назад

Wow! Pixel actually looks like 8bit in reality!

@marinal9843 Год назад

I love the moldivite 😍

@beckypage6041 Год назад

Thanks Theo! I really like “how did they do that videos.” I’m left handed, so I tend to do everything backwards first. Lol Stay safe and have a great weekend. Yeah, I’m thinking the Portuguese cut is one of my favorites.

@piacolombana1536 Год назад

In 1 word. Amazing

@DaScribe100 Год назад

Beeeootiful stones... more faceting please!!!

@largent45 Год назад

So, so, so beautiful! All of them are so gorgeous. That pharaohs eye in lab grown ruby is phenomenal! The way the light play is inside the stone, is so gorgeous, and makes it look like its casting fire! Its such a good choice for stone and cut! Wow! All five of them are incredible! I love the pixel cut too, but it needs to be in a clear stone but one where the light play is better. I was thinking maybe a clear corundum? Idk. Just thinking. But excellent job. You are a master of beauty with fingerprints! lol great video!

@DonohueLabs Год назад

I feel you on the "hard to film" aspect of faceting. The full process is repetitive. However, I enjoyed the multi-stone journey here. Thanks for sharing, and I look forward to seeing more cut stones!

@Jacquestherock...houndrookie Год назад

Absolutely fabulous...looking forward to more videos like this. 😃

@helenlamberton2637 Год назад

Those were all beautiful!!

@jamesrexsannatracy8318 Год назад

Always great content! Thanks for sharing the process 👌

@beloitrose Год назад

wooooooow please do more vids like this!!

@sharonwolfe4230 Год назад

Beautiful. My fav is the Portuguese cut. I'd love to see you do a lone star cut on a light colored stone then put it in your Stay store for me to buy. I kid of course. I really would like to see how to cut the lonestar.

@donc5220 Год назад

Very cool Beans Man!

@mountain_girl Год назад

just wow.

@Mrjoshuasjourneyzzz10420 Год назад

Cool video, yes more of this, lab grown ruby, pixel facet?????

@reneewilbur4340 Год назад

Yes I’d like to see more! What are you going to do with the lab grown ruby? I really enjoy the cut on it and would love to have it 🥹

@OzoneFineArtVentures Год назад

I couldn't have been more excited about this video...and then I had to wait to watch it until I got my post-ill'n pile of chores done, lol. "I'm not going to apologize, I'm sorry" 🤣🤣 Classic. But seriously, this is such a great view from the start to the finish and the selection of patterns and stones (and why). Great tips like the low grit tip, makes sense but I know I would have made that mistake thinking you're being thorough. The Cleopatra's (you've renamed it) Eye turned out so nice, love that cut. What are you using to dop? Love how the sunstone turned out, so stoked to play with some of those. The Moldavite is stupid gorgeous, I'd love to see that set! Thanks for the great video and now I wish I could go hop on my machine though I'm still waiting on laps and dops, Whaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!

@dustinfindsrocks Год назад

Your making me want to get a faceting machine man! Lol there’s so much I need first… that moldavite turned out amazing! You’re going to make some money off that if you sell it at the renascence fair!!!

@katiedid713926 Год назад

AMAZING!!!

@WorldofRockhounds Год назад

Makes me want to learn and acquire a faceting machine

@anneallen2690 Год назад

Thank you

@kellyharper367 Год назад

Old disabled house bound dusty rusty rockhound here: How much time does it take to facet each stone? How much pressure do you put in the stone when faceting?? I never got into facetting...my Dad did. I've always been into "fetching" the stones more than "finishing" the stones. I can cab and polish but no fancy stuff. After seeing you facetting stones...makes me appreciate even more...every shimmer, glimmer, and glitter of my faceted stones! You rock dude!!!

@jamesblondeau1029 Год назад

Thought on your makes challenge this year either you or katie could do a repeat of her attempt at the stained glass stone lamp. Do it with iris agate That would be blow your mind beautiful

@anniegironne8444 Год назад

Stunning. Could you do something with the tourmaline you found? I love these.

@veronicamoore3777 Год назад

Amazing!

@tammykeith5909 Год назад

please do more of this type of video I am going to check at my club and see if anyone is teaching how to facet stones

@Cherrycola14 Год назад

Day was made better by a video. Bad fire in Hope, BC getting a lot of bad air quality stuck is the valley's, asthmatic, farm worker. The smoke is getting to me, dizziness, nausea, low energy and brain fog. Praying for rain.

@rebeccaofsunnybrookefarm8469 Год назад

I enjoyed seeing the product I don't think it's possible that I have patience for faceting

@chrisreinhardt5843 Год назад

Moldavite!!!

@cindy40 Год назад

Not gonna lie I wasn't fond of the lab ruby until it was cut! I couldn't see the beauty in it but I do now. And the glass is so pretty they all are but those are the two that surprised me the most. I can't even decide a favorite they are all wonderful. Do you ever do emerald cuts?

@rebeccaofsunnybrookefarm8469 Год назад

Agreed

@graemero5532 Год назад

Blue is the colour

@patriciamckean4186 Год назад

So, are the directions for all those patterns available for downloading? I took a faceting class and loved it. Also faceting machine, what is it and who makes it. Great job, Theo!!! Yes, please more videos on faceting. I know repetition is key!

@leslyeschoenhuth1107 Год назад

You are such a Hoot! "I'm not going to apologize. I'm Sorry!" Love this, but could Never do it myself... Too much work on all those faces.. ~ I never saw a Golden Ruby before. looks amazing. Yes, the Golden Ruby is my Fave for color & Cut..

@RyanDCH Год назад

6:05 I'm doing fine and having a great day. Thank you. How about you? I think it would be really awesome to bid on a piece you create on eBay or your Etsy page. I probably wouldn't win an auction, but I would bid. I'd love to have a piece like that. The pixel cut is my favorite. You should do one of these as ASMR.

@jamesblondeau1029 Год назад

Wow sir i loved this video. Some day i hope to own a faceting machine and flat lap. So cool i have some clear quarts and orange calcedony id love to see if i could facet. Not to mention i have a stone that contains tangerine/ grapefruit pinky orange bands of crystal to cut free and see if i could facet

@sfbfriend Год назад

Great vid TK, did you just start this on your own? Take any classes? How about are there any books you would recommend?

@lynnmaines7352 Год назад

Can you do a big one out of an agate?

@Lazy0Kat Год назад

do you have a guide vid on lapidary?

@coolesteyes Год назад

Awesome!!! We love that you shared this, we have 6lbs of sunstone that we would love to find someone to cut for us, maybe you would be interested ? How much would you charge and would you be interested in trade for material?
