[QUOTE="Wally69, post: 472375, member: 1916"] Small triangular sapphire shaped rough with veiled inclusions but some exceptional clarity and colour at the point. [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/1916/1550627603_84394b72-736d-4f9d-9c95-ef28b7ccdd4f.jpg[/img] Was a bit of an experiment at cutting my first triangle, but you can see why I gave it a go.... [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/1916/1550627296_775e11be-84d0-4da8-a60c-26900afa2cfb.jpg[/img] Happy with the outcome at 0.6ct and different light sources play around with the colour. The veiled inclusions are significant with some orientations of the stone but I think a carefully selected setting would work. I assume the inclusions would respond well to heat treating and I might give it a go at some stage to see what difference it makes.
