[QUOTE="Dihusky, post: 448475, member: 10304"] Thanks everyone, maybe I'm a glutton for punishment but I seem to constantly push the boundaries. The stone I'm doing right now is also throwing up challenges, not so much the stone itself, but seeing what I'm doing... 4 meeting facets each side with only one index increment between each, then add in facet line shifts with refraction. 5 second cut then 5 mins trying to work out the result :( [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/10304/1540815887_ametrine-facets.jpg[/img] Ametrine, stone is 8.5mm wide x 15.5mm long currently, so big facets, working on keel meets, damn they're hard to see.
