[QUOTE="Lefty, post: 425693, member: 2976"] Would require first hand inspection to be able to tell for sure but from the photo it looks pretty clean. Certain angles must be adhered to when faceting so its best if a stone has some thickness, the blockier the shape, the better the yield is likely to be. If its good annd clear, colourless quartz can cut a nice looking stone. I cut a bunch of little colourless quartz crystals for a mate and they came up beautifully bright and sparkly. Plus it has just the right sort of hardness for general jewellery work. [/QUOTE]
