[QUOTE="Varts, post: 74614, member: 1229"] Agree totally king They disappear very fast,very fast indeed And my experience with facetn an unheat treated rock is tiny flaws appear ,maybe the size of a pin prick and some times only on one facet, Do you just wear this to increase the total ct. Or Do you chase it out then cut all your facets again ,try for the perfect gem :D Beware ,re facet ,downsize for perfection .almost perfect,f@ck is that another one I see,no oh f--- no............ A perfect untreated saphire is very hard to find, I thought I had a few nice cutters ;) Sat down with with a beer, a loop, and a gem cutter for a few hours and ,what can I say A perfect untreated saph is very hard to find!! Any way blayke all the best with your nice find mate If it is "perfect" be careful getting it cut Like Wal says if it is cut right( all facets line up ,the right angles etc ) it could be worth a good dollar Varts.......
