How a gemstone is cut and polished. Strontium titanate.

Brent, as a fan and a cutter I must say this is your best, most informative video ever. Fantastic job cutting what looks like a difficult material. The fire really surprised me and you deserve credit for modifying the pavilion angles to accommodate the R.I. I must admit that my heart was in my throat after the stone released when you were just getting started. Nice move using wax. 👍 It looks like you've moved your bench to in front of the window. It certainly made for excellent lighting. Thanks much for sharing your excellent work.

Thanks very much john, its good to hear the lighting improvements shows up in the videos. I actually moved to a different home in a different city, i dont have a real workshop anymore but i have the garage i can use for sawing grinding, cab making, casting. Im still setting up the machines in the garage .

Great job with the tricky, difficult Strontium Titanate. The Stone has an extraordinary brilliance. Excellent result👏 Your recut of the Amethyst is also very successful, much better color saturation. Fantastic Video🙏

Beautiful stone

[@markturner9293]

very nice. Ive also had issues with a stone with chips just appearing out of no where. last problem was the glue removal chipping the stone. Uggg!

[@tennpikr74]

Thanks, yes , it can be troubling to work with .

The stone turned out beautiful! What a pain to cut though. I was going to buy a piece to cut myself but after watching your effort to cut it I'll think I'll pass. On top of that it's rather expensive for a synthetic - never mind. Wonderful informative video, I really appreciate all your effort in making these.

Thanks jess, yes i think cz is much easier to work with and cheaper to buy and almost as blingy.

Fabs were the best looking stones there were, back in the day! 😉

[@tennpikr74]

Yes, i imagine a few jewelers might have been fooled by them back then as well as unsuspecting buyers. Thanks for watching and commenting.
