His synthetic stocks vary but if youβre nerdy, youβll find lots of weird and cool things to facet. I faceted the PET scan LYSO pixel for my stepmom who is a doctor and she geeked out SO hard.
This particular rough was his needled moissanite. I really want to try his dichroic next!
I'm a sucker for a princess cut, and this one is gorgeous! I haven't yet cut zircon but I have my first rough to experiment with, any forewarning/advice you'd like to share before I find things out the hard way? π
I've been wanting moissanite rough for a bit, and there's a vendor who specializes in synthetic stuff who stocked this particular rough piece. I don't want to test the boundaries of this sub's rules but if you want to know the vendor's name you can DM me.
As much as I profess to hate faceting it, I am low-key wanting more rough so I can cut more sparkly things π foul seductress, why must thy rough be so ridiculously expensive per gram!
A rock band! π€£
Arrrg my fat girdle habit strikes again! I definitely do regret not cutting it farther down. I'm going to give the spray bottle a try, I've got a lovely misting bottle that will probably work wonders for the job.
I agree with you the light return on it is lovely, I really dig the cut. I'll keep practicing it and hopefully improve my technique.
Even with the unfortunate inclusion, it has a hella cool color!
Your son is quite talented! How much longer until you have to buy him his own machine? π
It sparkles so beautifully!
It's so pretty! I've been trying to find a good Asscher cut design but I haven't loved the ones I've found. Which of his books is this one in?
Good idea - dimensions added and will include them in future posts too. :)
Joe Henley is an amazing resource! Everything I've gotten from him has always been on point. I just wish his shop didn't auto-sort with most expensive first because it is such a tease π
