[QUOTE="Heatho, post: 592928, member: 487"] This stone here started out as a 5ct rough, it was a bit of an odd shape but very clean, weighs about 0.9ct now but it's a lovely stone and was well worth having cut. This is why a finished gem is valuable as only about 5% of stones found if your lucky are worth cutting and are true gem quality, maybe only 1% sometimes.

Top quality but ended up a tad dark but these are they types of stones you're after that will cut nicely [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/487/1611532238_20131120_173449.jpg[/img] [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/487/1611532238_img_5343.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
