[QUOTE="Dihusky, post: 493954, member: 10304"] Have to agree, cut those at that rough size and you'll end up with monsters. Been cutting a bit of Topaz recently and one of Topaz's characteristics is that you end up with a high crown to get a really good sparkle. The one below is a recent cut for a client, stone started an 12.5ct and finished at 8ct, measured 14 x 9mm so very much a stone for a necklace, big earrings or a broach, ring.. no, too big and bulky. You may also find the stones have a lot happening internally, veils, bubbles etc, the one in the picture has a lot happening internally which I personally think makes for a more interesting stone and no one will ever question that's it's not natural. Those little white specs are not fluff they're air bubbles! [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/10304/1560050831_8ct-topaz-step-cushion-crop.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
