How To Cut Gemstones - Topaz Faceting

[@FISHUNTREECOUNTRY]

He know's what he is doing. I have a small natural Topaz from here in Canada that I want cut. It changes colour with the light, and is quite clear. Grey smoke, blue smoke, golden yellow. Would probably be about a carat after cutting.

I actually found a smaller peice of this type of stone, On the ground. Looks very alike , from this video. Thanks again, many stones look like glass. Without in its natural state, or better tests . Amazing, that would look great as an earing.

What are your thoughts on the $230 Faceting Machine on eBay? I'm interest in faceting and not sure if spending more than make sense as a starter machine.

[@arnaldovinagre4350]

great video, thanks!!!!

[@lillybethcruz9923]

Thank you!

[@ColoradoGhostCreek]

Nice work. I'm just getting started and learning as I go. What type of glue do you use. I use standard Super glue, but yours looks different. And do you use heat to remove the Dop after you transfer it to the other Dop. Thanks for any advise, Woody.

[@VintageTimeGems]

I use Devcon 5 minute 2 part Epoxy. I let it cure overnight. Yes, I use heat to remove dop on the exchange transfer. Happy faceting.

[@ColoradoGhostCreek]

@@VintageTimeGems Thanks for the quick reply. I find topaz here in Colorado and am trying my hand at faceting some. I quickly realized that Felt and Super Cerium Oxide might work good for Quartz, but is no match for polishing Topaz. So that's how I stumbled on to your Video..... Just learning as I go and trying to take it all in. Have a good one, Woody.

[@sdmervyn2466]

[@auhunter7911]

this cut excelent, very good, godd ?

[@VintageTimeGems]

Thank you

[@Simon-ep9lo]

Please don't hold the quill when cutting you must hold the stone: 1 holding the quill puts stress on the wax, 2 it also introduces unwanted flex.

[@VintageTimeGems]

True...I sometimes hold the quill mainly for macro shots and various camera angles for the video so my hand is not in the way. Generally I hold the stone. Yes wax can flex so can epoxies. I never use wax anyway. Although you cannot see it, but my technique is to use very little pressure even when holding the gem/ quill as I'm often using the downward weight of gravity from the quill and the protractor head for smaller gems as this is a very solid machine unlike a Facetron. Adjustments of the faceting head lock nut also comes into play at times using gravity. But you are correct about holding the gem instead of the quill and it's well worth discussing on another video.

[@celm5651]

I'm going to start a lapidary course and would like to know where I can find these raw stones for purchase, with this quality?

[@VintageTimeGems]

Depending were you live. I would get in contact with a local gem club and give them a call. Most countries have gem dealers I'm sure could hook you up with someone.

With the perspex lap can you just clean it or do you need one for each grit. Enjoying this video Cliff.

I clean it with denatured alcohol, but always use the same grit.

Ey man, how do i buy a facceting machine?

[@Sharkdisplay]

How much it cost before after faceting

[@VintageTimeGems]

Many variables as natural blue Topaz is not cheap. I'd say around $300 AU

[@telemyztery]

At 6:54, what is the darkness inside?

[@Trip_to_nowhere_ph]

What kind of gem is that?

[@alnnetto6405]

Berapa pembuatan topaz seperti itu... saya ingin membuatnya.

[@TheNinjasniper12]

Is it true most topaz cut clear blue? And the only time they ever have yellow gold and red Colour is if they're Imperial

[@VintageTimeGems]

Most topaz is clear. The light blue Topaz as seen is a natural colour that nature made. Yes the Imperial Topaz is usually golden and tends to be more expensive. I have read a little in past about other variants in colour like red topaz, I must look more into that. London Blue Topaz or the darker blues are heat treated. Cheers

[@Orophile_303]

I have a quartz gem that glows with black light(?) But when you don't shine the light it looks like a normal quartz.

[@buggsy5]

Topaz glows golden yellow under Short Wave Ultraviolet and cream under Long Wave UV.

[@douglashanlon1975]

wipe the stone with old worn 100% cotton tshirt scraps and lauder them

[@Orophile_303]

Still don't understand why people even buy diamonds anymore when there's so many beautiful gemstones better than diamonds.
