Stunningly beautiful gem ! I think that the Portuguese trillion cut produces the most brilliance in a gemstone and this finished gem proves it. You are a master of your craft !

That gem is the most beautiful color I have ever seen. The facets and inclusions make it mesmerizing. I had no idea how much work, skill and equipment was required in this art. I could see on your face that you get a lot of joy from taking a raw stone and turning g it into a work of art.

[@chocol8milk]

OMG, the finished product is absolutely stunning!

[@StewardessofGaiasgifts]

Omg! Congrats. This is why you are the G.O.A.T. of gem cutting. And seeing the joy on your face appreciating the beauty of what your holding just made my heart melt. Your a wonderful human. You and your boys

[@Moregems]

Wow, thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video.

[@sammyjo8109]

I have never seen a stone cut from the begining and was unfamiliar with morganite. I would never have imagined that dull looking stone would turn out so stunning. After watchng this video I have researched Maoganite and seen beautiful jewelry made from the different colors. Mr. Moriarty certaianly has earned his master title. Thank you for sharing the process sir.

[@jerrybowers2119]

That is the nicest largest Smithsonian collection quality morganite beryl I have ever seen. You undervalue that stone and your talent skill and attention to detail.

Bravo, Steve! It was such a pleasure watching you cut this masterpiece!!

[@webbtrekker534]

Morganite is probably my most favorite of the gems. I love Rubies and find Tanzanite so very appealing and enchanting. Mandarin Garnet will suck me in at a glance but Morganite resides at the very top of my list. This stone is stunning!

[@SnowDog_2112]

I got to see this stone in person before it was cut when my fiancée and I visited the shop to get her ring resized. Her ring turned out perfect, and it was an absolute pleasure to chat with Mr. Moriarty about gems and faceting. This stone turned out beautiful!

[@user-vk2xh3ph7p]

What can I say? I happened upon your video and thought I’ll give it a minute watch to see what it’s about!! Hooked!!! Mesmerising stuff!!! Incredible talent sir! Look forward to viewing more!

[@andrewclarkehomeimprovement]

I love how when the cut stone is rotating and the three axes are in line, the number of facets multiply, truly amazing work and a beautiful gem.

[@paulkhanna1]

I don't particularly like gems, but found myself fascinated by your process. Wonderful video, you're clearly a master of your craft.

[@Moregems]

Your welcome Karen

[@dennisk5818]

My family did a lot of lapidary work, and I had some wonderful times. At one point, I looked into faceting, mostly because of my love of faceted gems. Never did, though and stayed with Opals. This was a wonderful and fascinating process to watch. The cut for this stone gave it life as you looked down into it. I was captured by the varied splashes of light generated by the facet angles of the pavilion. Lastly, the color. I've seen Morganite that are pink. This color is, in my opinion, much more stunning. Thanks for a view into faceting.
