[QUOTE="Moneybox, post: 133957, member: 3960"] If you are well practised and know what you are doing you can work the sieve to bring all the gemstones to the centre. The technique takes a bit of getting used to but for me my coordination is lousy so I have difficulty getting it to rotate and jiggle up and down at the same time. Sometimes I get it sometimes I dont. The willoughby does away with the problem. Gently jiggling it up and down on the surface of the water does the same thing. The heavies end up in the middle at the bottom and that makes sorting your gemstones easy. Just flip the sieve over and this is what you hope to see.
