[QUOTE="Wally69, post: 462440, member: 1916"] Nice stone Martyz - would love to find one that size and cut it :cool: Looks like it has been cleaned up or roughly shaped in preparation for cutting, potentially with an orientation and shape in mind.It would be best to find a local very experienced cutter to inspect it and give you some advice as the colour zoning will give a number of options on how to cut the stone, their price will follow. You might need to think about what you are trying to achieve, chasing a flawless stone, a certain colour or maximising stone size or cutting a pair of matching stones. This will help with the conversation. [/QUOTE]
