Steve Moriarty outlines the detailed process of cutting the pavilion of a rare large Morganite. He starts with the gem properly secured in an UltraTec V5 faceting machine, which he recommends for its precision. Initially considering a shield cut for optimal yield from the gem's triangular shape, Moriarty opts for a more aesthetically pleasing trilliant cut, eventually choosing a Portuguese style after evaluating various designs. The cutting begins with a master lap and a 360-grit topper, focusing on the girdle's precise angles for the desired shape. Through a meticulous sequence of cutting and adjusting angles, Steve aims to maintain sharp corners and an even girdle, despite anticipating a significant loss of material. The process involves strategic cutting to ensure all facets align correctly, leading to a final pre-polishing phase for the perfect finish. This video shows the complexity and skill required in gem faceting, particularly for high-value, large carat stones like this particular morganite.
