[QUOTE="Dihusky, post: 400310, member: 10304"] A lot will depend on the shape of the rough, if it's well shaped you might get a stone of around 1 - 1.5ct based on a 60% loss rate, which if its got good clarity will end up being something nice. I'm only learning Faceting right now, but there are some top notch cutters in this group who will be able to give you a better and more accurate opinion than me. First thing will be to try and get a good photo, maybe on a mirror with a good light and a light spray with a bit of water and meths, tricky I know if you don't have a macro lens, but a lot of phone cameras can get pretty close to the subject now, so give it a try then crop. Also try taking several pics at different angles to the light and see what looks the best then bang it up here for all to see. :o [/QUOTE]
