These are all either practice stones, some of my most precious or stones I've done just for fun. I've cut for friends, family and commission but keep it more of a hobby than a business. (No I'm not soliciting for work.)
The types of stones in the image are:
- quartz
- amethyst
- tourmaline
- beryl (both golden and aquamarine)
- garnet (mostly pyrope)
- topaz
- sapphire
I'll keep posting as I have time in hopes that there are some lurking lapidaries out there that will eventually chime in. 😀
Here is an example diagram from a site that has tons of diagrams that can be cut. I like to joke that it’s a bit like color by numbers.
