Moissanite is so sparkly! (pxlmo.com)

I just tried cutting moissanite for the first time and goodness gracious, it took forever at the prepolish and polish steps, I assume because of the mohs hardness. After spending ungodly hours on that polish I will never again complain about polishing quartz.

I know, I know - FAT GIRDLE. It doesn't look so comically big on the dop, I swear my camera adds 0.1 mm!

7.98 mm, 2.84 cts, design is Mind Games by Arya Akhavan

I definitely misread the name of this community when it clicked, but... Very shiny! Looks beautiful!
