Serpentine

[Eu_citzen]

You know, its pretty rare to find serpentine with any level of clarity worth while to facet.
I was lucky to acquire a piece and finished it the other day:



It's a nice serpentine and weights in at 5.9 cts. Was HELL to polish, but am very happy with the results.

Wow.... didn't know that it could be cut like that...but like you say, hard to find any worthy of it...nice job Eu & thanks again for help on mine.

Ok my jaw is on the floor, again! Did not know it could be faceted. Amazing job as usual!

Thanks you two! Glad you enjoyed it.

Now that is interesting. I've never seen a translucent serpentine... or a faceted one. Very nice. I bet it was a bit of fun. Hehh

Thank you DD. Yes, I was very lucky to get this. I haven't seen any faceted serpentine before this one either.
The brilliance (or glow, in this hazy stone) is quite amazing to. Such a stone belongs in every mineral collection!
