[QUOTE="Mr Magoo, post: 437808, member: 3008"] I'm not totally disagreeing but the fact remains fifteen years ago kids could hand cut more than a hundred individual diamonds and sell them for $100. Yet fifteen years later we still have diamond cutters. Automated faceting machines have been around with success for many years. The Jang is one example. But we still cut a lot by hand. Yes, someone, somewhere, sometime will crack it. I'm not denying that but what I can be certain of it's not going to effect me any day soon. I have far bigger concerns of high quality fraudulent natural rough coming onto the market which would make the value of stone so worthless the trade of gem cutting can not survive. No money in cutting glass. Ever looked into the products of the Anahi mine operated by Minerales y Metales del Oriente. [/QUOTE]
