[QUOTE="Wally69, post: 434257, member: 1916"] Thanks Guys, you comments mean a lot to me. Lefty - go on....pop one on the dop. :lol: they are an interesting stone to cut, prone to a bit of chipping and you need to watch out for the one very soft facet that usually follows a very hard facet. Interestingly, I had to put a lower wattage globe into my lamp for polishing this one as the shine back was too brilliant.......had a few pre-dop removal happy moments du to this as well. :party: despite the richness of colour in the rough, the stone only has a hint of pink in cut form and generally presents as crystal clear due to the intensity of the reflected light. Dam It - Unfortunately, i am going to have to accept your question as a big complement at this point in time. I will venture into making some of my treasures available at some stage in the future; so if you can patiently standby as an observer of my learning curve, you and my PA family will be the first to know when I get to that point.
