[QUOTE="rough2cut, post: 106031, member: 3816"] I think He just wanted to see if there was noticeable difference in the cutting and there was. They were easier to cut with less facet peel than usual though my system is wearing in nicely and would have had an effect on the cutting. I don't agree about untreated rough being worth more. Most Australian rough needs treating to be even cuttable. I hate handing back a foggy stone that's been found by a fossicker and you cant just treat one stone at a time. So finding a clean ready to cut stone is a very rare event. As for the old stone being something else I had to do tho old photo proof myself to protect myself from the trade. You would be surprised how may chipped diamonds I recut that were Moissonite. Cluff would be doing well there from what I here about the sapphire coming out of there. [/QUOTE]
