[QUOTE="Wally69, post: 546973, member: 1916"] Found a chip of light blue topaz in my bucket with white rutile needles and a few problems that I thought I should have a crack at. Unfortunately it had an inclusion that went deeper than I thought on the crown. I ended up taking out the star facets completely when chasing it out, rather than compromising the diameter and dropping the girdle. Probably made the wrong decision, but at 2ct and a nice light blue, i think it will go well wrapped in silver.
