Square citrine I've cut. This guy threw from the dop a few weeks back and I've only just got round to actually finish it. Should have pulled the corners in further, as this would have allowed me a smaller table and better optics.

Is that long thing it's sitting on for holding it in place while you work on it?

It's a little box for ease of display in photography. The groove gets wider at one end allowing different size stones to sit in it.

I like that color, and that’s a good cut for showing it off without flashy light return.
