[QUOTE="Squint, post: 586724, member: 10432"] First Tourmaline done. Cut the two ends of the pavilion off to reduce the impact of the blacked out "C" section. Wasn't the best colour rough anyway but I'm still pretty happy with the results. This was the stone from the top left of the above photo. Both of the other stones from the top row had fractures that presented while cutting the girdle so had to re dop and start again. They were too long for correct L/W ratio anyway so not too frustrated, ........really. Quite like the material though.[img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/10432/1607762241_img_20201212_163537.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
