I've been faceting since October last year and finally got the guts to do a frosted design. The colour is a bit washed out - it's greener in real life, but mobile phone colour correction always kills it. One day I'll figure out how to actually take nice pictures of gems.
Design is Frost Star Hex by Andrew Brown
Woot! Another poster has joined! I am no longer the only one posting!
I love this frosted design, and am going to try my hand at one on a piece of amethyst out of my 'junk' box.
The stone I cut this from was half a £2 tumblestone I picked up from a gem show, so it's a great way of using up uninspiring quartz group stuff
This is a gorgeous stone!
Thanks, it's the first stone in a year I've been properly proud of
Yo this cut is amazing, it’s like a snowflake
