[QUOTE="Lefty, post: 111737, member: 2976"] Can't facet yet so I thought I'd see how one of those almandine garnets would cab up. I'm spewing now that I treated it as an experiment and didn't take more care - I see no reason why it wouldn't look good in a ring. Except that the shape is slightly out, the polish could have been a little higher and there is an unfinished bit near the girdle - all because I treated it as a muck around. Next time I will take it seriously. [img]https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3943/15479285077_da03c18c18_c.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
