[QUOTE="Hilux-Harry, post: 537484, member: 17553"] Thanks for the tips Hugh. Ive only been cutting now for just under a year and a few of the stones Ive done have a thickish girdles and Im not so worried. Ive already recut some quartz and they turned out nice and sparkly and not so hard if you dop and line up properly. Although I wouldnt like to do it too often it can tur out very bad. I know what a rock grinder is now....... I do have to say I really do like cutting the oval cut and using the eight main oval cut I find a bit easier than the other designs that start with the girdle facets then the mains, on the crown that is. Also I agree that my proportions are out a bit. Still they do sparkle and when Ive shown anyone they dont notice the bow tie anyway. But I know its there and it is frustrating. Harry. [/QUOTE]
