Another very nice video and a beautiful piece. The clarity of this gem is wonderful. The result of your extra care while polishing. You make it look easy, but I know it's not that simple. Thank you for sharing. :-)

Perfect genstones and beautful video.❤

Very cool. I need to master this cut. I wont feel like a decent faceter until I do. Almost identical to the mini square by Beard. That table is beautiful Cliff. All your facets are Sharp, crisp, and flat. Something for me to strive for.
Thanks Cliff!)

I experienced the exact same problem only a week ago. I am cutting several stones for a "my first client", 4 of which are to be SRB's with Spike Mains and only 6mm in diameter. I only recently got dops capable of cutting such small stones and I have only cut 1 matching pair since I started 6.5 months ago, so cutting 4 matching stones is no small task for me.
Anyway, I was using my "metal" calipers on a tiny synth. Ruby and didn't loosen the calipers off before withdrawing them from the stone. Of course "off it came". Luckily, I was able to reattach and align the stone without requiring any cheating so I'd say I got off lucky. But is was a good lesson learned. Meanwhile I am waiting for a small brass slide caliper to arrive (in a few months ?). But I'm not sure that would have prevented this from happening any more than I think it could have been prevented had I had plastic calipers.
Great Job on your stone. It looks fantastic.

I like that it seems to have large bold facet. Looks like someone made a gem out of keyptonite.

If you could get your hands on a piece of chambersite and cut it, I'd be glad. It's my favorite purple gemstone and I want to see how you'd cut it. Best wishes!

[samsudinibrahim]

nicely done no chipping normely it chips

[Felenari]

Beautiful cut. Amateur asking, why not slice off the two edges in the beginning and make two other smaller stones?

[johnelliott]

Hey where is the facet design for this one? I could not find it on the internet in the normal places.
