[QUOTE="Dihusky, post: 462709, member: 10304"] Hi Martyz, as previously mentioned I'm on the Gold Coast up the northern end in Monterey Keys and would be happy to help, I also have a close friend who taught me how to cut, he's based in Carrara near the markets and is not only a top cutter but also a Gem judge. For cutting a stone like that he's the guy I'd introduce you to. Need to check the stone for inclusions etc as this will help determine if it can be cut as one stone or better to produce a couple of smaller stones, either way the cut has to suit the rough with the realisation that you'll lose around 2/3rds of the stone in the cutting process. Whereabouts are you based? [/QUOTE]
