Rheo Milvus Thanks...Cutting gems is not easy. Doesn't take much for thing to go wrong. This gem took about a month on and off to cut. Cheers

@VintageTimeGems6 жыл бұрын
renavik I like to put in macro shots as faceting for me is about good meet points. Hard to accomplish, and at times darn right impossible. I've noticed that many videos don't show close macro shots of cut gems. Thanks for watching.

Nice work!! Just GORGEOUS. Makes me wanna be a lapidary. I've had a passion for rocks, minerals, and ALL gemstones my whole life. I just love the idea of digging out the treasures of the Earth, & making them SPARKLE, & look so very perfect. Maybe one day...😊. Right now I just enjoy looking at my collection.

You should have no issues with them. When finished using them make sure you rinse them and wipe water beads off the back as left too long with water on them they will rust on the back. Great discs for the price. Mine came in a pack of 4 ranging from 3000 , 1200, 800,600 grit they cost about $24 AU. I ordered 2 separate ones that were 240 and a 100 grit and they grind material like you wouldn't believe ( they cost around $14 each). Just be careful with those 2 as they are so aggressive when new they can chip outer edges facets so easily, particularly the 100 grit. Once used for some time not so bad. The 240 disc is now my go to disc for a quick grind, then I move on to the 800 grit. Happy faceting. Thanks for watching. Cheers
