[QUOTE="Wally69, post: 400470, member: 1916"] Looks like it has some good clear zoning on the inside but it will not be a high yielding stone if you want to avoid all the inclusions. If you are thinking cabbing as a compromise, I will suggest that you could get it cut for maximum yield and put up with some inclusions. You will get the reflective benefits from a properly angled stone to bring out the colour and brilliance along with maximum bling size. The risk is the stone may split during polishing and that an inclusion might just be in the wrong spot. If that happens it can be cut again with the obvious loss in yield. If you wanted to clean up the stone in free-form yourself, a diamond coated Dremel tool and polishes could be an option. I work in North Sydney, happy to take a look if you find yourself across this way. [/QUOTE]
