[QUOTE="Mr Magoo, post: 468473, member: 3008"] :argh: :argh: :argh: No it's certainly not kind. Not smudges. I think that was called the cat's hair citrine cut. The more you look the more I see, rounded facets, not flat on the lap and poor meets (but not to bad under the circumstances) . I'm happy with it. One of my first stones cut twenty years ago. Self taught, before internet and hadn't even seen a faceting machine before except in books and mags. Just had a book by Vargas to follow. I remember it took me five hours just to 'polish' my first facet. I was starting to break into a sweat over spending nearly over $4K on a brand new GF4 and taking 5 hours to polish one facet. 8.( Don't think any of the stones are winners, all my first cut. And most rather battered by time. But SinHof has a use for them. :Y: [/QUOTE]
