How are gemstones cut - Quartz Faceting

[@boogliummoo7809]

Unbelievable! I never knew quartz could shine so much. This inspires me.

[@kristy218591]

this is the most beautiful cut I have ever seen in my life...the most beautiful quartz ever

[@Shock_Treatment]

You should look up the quartz crystal that was donated by B.E. Gillie at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science then. It's 1,837 carats and cut very nicely with many facets.

[@rufusbayne2230]

I never imagined quartz could be so beautiful. I have a new appreciation for it.. thanks!

[@CoraleenWaddell]

What a lovely cut 😍

[@mr_scruffles_ytminecraft1110]

Simply amazing work and astonishing how something that no where near as hard as a diamond can look exactly like one. Breathtaking work!

[@barrywebber100]

What an amazing transformation! An incredibly beautiful finished gemstone. Thanks for posting.

[@Naughtism]

Clark Fuller that's exactly what I was thinking. Where do you get schooling to do this?

[@Cretaal]

Oh wow... I never knew you could get a quartz to look like that! And here I prized the raw formed pinnacles, the hand of man has turned a beautiful stone in to a magical wonder. I have never seen a quartz crystal that was fit for a king, but you've done it, sir! You inspire me to take up gem polishing

[@Moregems]

Thanks for watching and the kind comments! If you decide to start cutting, check out our instructional videos here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rWepdpSunLiBnck

Thank you so much. Do you have any advice for the cutting of Ellensburg Blue? I don't know if you've ever cut one, but I'm looking for advice so I don't mess up with the ones I find.

[@Moregems]

Unfortunately, I don't have much advise I can give because I've never cut it.

[@raincloud7817]

whilst watching how Mr. Moriarty is cutting the crystal somebody asked me if I am in the jewel industry. - no, I'm not, but I like to see beautiful stones, precious or not but pretty. - they are nice & silent friends ...

[@American-Jello]

I am just blown away. Talk about something sparkly! Absolutely stunning, incredible skill.

[@lorenrobertson8039]

As an Arkansas native I'm happy to see this quartz being cut by you. I often found beautiful quartz as a kid, esp. in the Little Rock area. Often wished that I could make jewelry from them, but just never had any way to do that. I did make some free form jewelry from shells from the Spring River that was fun and a gift for Mother's Day. Thank you for posting this!

Most Amazing work, this is surely the best large cut Quartz I have ever seen, the brilliance is just amazing, at first when you watch the video you wonder why that many facets on the Pavilion and such a dome shaped crown, until the cut stone is shown, and you see the brilliance of the light reflecting of the pavilion facets, just amazing... no sign of a window whatsoever. Fantastic work. thanks for posting.

Thank you for the replies. I'm fairly new to facetting,so i'm just working with coloured glass right now.

[@Moregems]

+Alan Jackson Buy some inexpensive rough like rhodolite garnet. At least when your finished you have something of value and you dont have to say its just glass. $10 will get you something genuine.

[@albeon_draken]

I watched this before I got a faceting machine and I was impressed. Now that I've had my machine for a couple years, I'm in awe. The thought of cutting something that large has my shoulder cramping up with sympathy pains.

[@barringtonmiller4816]

Lovely Work

[@ericmoen389]

Most excellent! Bravo! Thanks for sharing. I'm new to this and am picking up a used Facetron. I've been hand faceting opal, quartz and amethyst to some varying degrees of success using a Foredom. I am highly encouraged to hear to hear the amount of time you have spent working on these works of art. I thought I was a slacker, but in reality, I discovered that this isn't an easy, quick process. Thanks again! I'm encouraged and excited to move forward.

[@loriallen7651]

One question, please. What is the difference between Jade and Jadite? How can one tell the difference between the two? Thanks for your professional explanation.

[@Moregems]

There is no easy way to determine the difference between jade, jadite, or nephrite. There are so many treatments out there that it makes it very hard to tell the difference between them. The best bet would be to have them submitted to a GIA lab or find an expert on that type of gem.

Check it out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rWepdpSunLiBnck Thanks for watching!

[@jamestaddeo4435]

You're welcome, and yes I've already watched all seven of those videos and will probably do so again. In fact they've helped me decide to go ahead and invest in this new skill set and equipment. I've always loved crystals and gemstones, rock hounding, and especially faceted stones. Watching this video and seeing the end result just blew me away. I want to do that and at 50 years old, I'm going to. Thanks again!

[@jamestaddeo4435]

This one was cut on the c axis which may add to brilliance as it is the singly refractive direction so you get no doubling of the facets although it is not dramatic in quartz as it would be in zircon. Other colors we are more concerned with color zoning

[@texasdeeslinglead2401]

that's gorgeous!

[@Moregems]

All three. There is a depth gauge on the machine but you still need to keep an eye on it as it is not totally accurate and if I am doing multiple facets to the same depth I do count to know how long to go before looking at the stone particularly when polishing.
