Once cut they look amazing, wish I could get some bigger ones though, only ever seem to be between 1 and 2 ct.
Be a little hard to cut the one in the story... 400 microns long

Nice one Col
Nice stone Col...... cut by Lamberts? What colour would you say that one is? Cognac? The ones at Inverell are either Champagne, slight Pink or Reddish Burgundy colour.
Will be getting some cut very soon, but nothing like that one, Ive got a few around 3ct. Hopefully get 1ct or near out of some.

Cut by a guy in Adelaide (who I wouldn't recommend). I'd say it's a cognac colour the photo doesn't do it justice it's a fair bit lighter in real life

Would be nice to know how old the ones on the east coast are. Guessing they would be in the billions as well, would be great to find out how old our Sapphires are to.
