[QUOTE="Martyz, post: 541081, member: 14320"] What can I say. Beautiful work Dihusky. :perfect: :perfect: After 40 years of sitting in a matchbox in a drawer thinking this was a black sapphire we finally saw some potential in this stone last year. Thats where the journey started. After seeking advice from the members on this forum and others in the industry, the decision was made to travel back up to Rubyvale to have the stone heat treated by Peter Brown. This made it a bit lighter and showed that the potential was there to cut some quality stones. The rest had been left to the trusted hands of Dihusky to work his magic and bring the stone to life. 1 of 3 with 2 still to come, myself and my two brothers will each have a special share in our dads love for fossicking and Lapidary. Thanks again to all those who put in their two cents worth. This forum had been an invaluable part of my education and decision making process. Cheers Hugh, our stone has been in great hands. Original rough was about 110ct and my dad shaped it to this 87.9ct stone.
