[QUOTE="Wally69, post: 563685, member: 1916"] Thanks guys, as frustrating as they are, I like the non-perfect that nature creates. If I could find perfect stones to cut, I might have a different view :lol: :D :lol: I scored some old magazines At a garage sale that had an article on sapphires and it basically says I am stupid for not heat treating my rutile included stones :playful: :( :P :zzz: I think I will need to research and make myself a little heat treatment contraption. If anyone has experience would be keen to hear how you went about it. [/QUOTE]
