Topaz and Sunstone

[Eu_citzen]

Well, time for eye candy again!



Lets start with a topaz, around 3 cts. Included, used it to wear in a new lap.




And a oregon sunstone, 6.7 cts or so. Its a tad more yellow in real life.

Sunstone is aaahmazing, EU. How were you ever able to cut and facet , without it shattering?

 

[Eu_citzen]

Terra, it had a internal fracture which I cut out for the most part. Other then that, its all about cooling the stone.
Heat is a stone killer during cutting, although some materials handle it better then others.
