[QUOTE="SneakyCuttlefish, post: 327375, member: 3340"] Left, I polished the facets. 100,000 grit normally. I'm not sure if the effect would still work if they where frosted. I will have to try on a piece of quartz. I love topaz but I have had a lot of issues with polishing as well on certain stones. Cutting dead on the C axis doesn't seem to be a problem neither does the m axis (directly side on). Once the cut starts going in varying angles from these two planes then problems can occur. That's my understanding/experience anyway. (more than happy for someone to educate me if that's wrong) [/QUOTE]
