This is one of two stones I’m cutting from a piece of morganite. This stone was started almost a month ago, and sat on the dop for weeks after I cut part of the crown and found an inclusion of bubbles that intersected a set of facets on one side looking like a fracture.
The perfectionist in me was pissed and frustrated and I walked away from the stone leaving it on the machine. I was forced to finish the stone thanks to my son who was planning on cutting a hydrothermal emerald. So I finished the stone, and you can’t even see the flaw without a loop.
I’m such an idiot and am so thankful that my son gave me a swift kick in the ass.
It sparkles so beautifully!
