[QUOTE="Lefty, post: 160767, member: 2976"] Arm is sore but seems to be recovering pretty quick - looks like it might have been just badly strained. I probably shouldn't do it but I'm getting digging withdrawl :) If arm isn't too bad on Friday I might head down to Lowmead on Saturday. Digging through sand isn't hard but if it starts to hurt I'll stop. Just finished off a bit of light amethyst in a Lighthouse cut - but I don't reckon the style does it justice. The cut seems fantastic for colourless material that finishes in a stone 10mm or bigger, giving it a brilliant silver appearence but I think that even the very light-coloured amethyst seems to look better in a brilliant cut. I think it might be that the greater depth of the brilliant cut vs lighthouse enhances even very light colour at least a little bit while the shallow lighthouse doesn't do that. [/QUOTE]
