[QUOTE="Wally69, post: 448837, member: 1916"] Makes me think, what lighting and type of magnification do you use ? Getting the right colour light source at a refractive angle that highlights the facet is another trick. Some stones react well to different types of light, I change bulbs when I am cutting topaz or zircon as a duller light seems to define the facet better. I also have a LED magnifier that works a treat on some stones but is useless on others. [/QUOTE]
