[QUOTE="WalnLiz, post: 8705, member: 147"] Hi Naynay, The stone looks clear enough to cut from the pic. ;) Hard to advise without checking under a loupe as to which type of cut would be suitable. An "Oval" or "brilliant" is possible, as there seems to be enough depth in the stone. You will have to try and avoid the inclusion if possible, as a smaller stone without inclusions is worth more than a larger included stone. My advice would be check out the nearest Lapidary club to your area as most have dedicated "Faceters" within their ranks. They might even cut the stone for you if the quality is there...Best of luck ...Cheers Wal. :) [/QUOTE]
