I’ve been looking at this large morganite rough and trying to decide how to cut this. It’s sort of in the shape of a triangular prism, but it narrows towards one end.

I was leaning towards slicing it in three and creating a matching set of trillian stones. The other alternative I’m contemplating is a matching set of square/princess cut stones optimized for this stone.

Interested if anyone has some other alternatives or opinions.

It's pretty well matched to a Smith Bar if you wanted to do it all as one big stone. Everyone loves pixels!
