[QUOTE="Lefty, post: 155938, member: 2976"] Ok, promise I'll try and take a decent photo of it Barney :) You definately can't appreciate a faceted stone at it's best with a still photo because the scintillation arising from movement is such a big part of what makes it what it is. Decided it was time to finally venture away from rounds today and try my hand at a square. I chose a simple design - "tic-tac" by Jeff Graham. I had no problems bringing the piece of material to a neat square pyramid. But it was a bit trickier in other ways, you can't look at two touching corner facets at the same time because one is around the corner from the other and out of veiw. At least it is with a bigger stone. The pavillion is cut now anyway and awaiting the final polish. I'll do that tomorrow night since I plan to go for a dig tomorrow. [/QUOTE]
