This stone is a blast from the past. I cut this when I was first starting to get into cutting and wanted to see how long a rectangle I could cut. This turned out nice but was, as I recall, a super hard cut to complete. The length of the rectangle caused issues during transfer and I had to make minute adjustments while cutting the crown.
