[QUOTE="Dihusky, post: 461384, member: 10304"] Looking straight at a stone will always be a challenge as you're dealing with both refection and refraction, with well polished facets the stone will see what it wants to see so it becomes an exercise in fractional moves to achieve the best results, even adding small black cards in carefully selected positions to see what impact they may have in cutting out all the white light might work. A long pair of chipsticks can be a useful tool. Looking forward to the next stage in the development :( :o :) :heart: [/QUOTE]
