Unique and Rare Gemstone Cuts - Where Do They Come From?

[@noellegr4954]

Awesome! I literally am sitting in gemcutter school with Munsteiners grandson where he just sometimes pulls out one of these crazy stones 😍 really cool that you cover the fancy cuts because it sometimes feels like no one actually knows how insanely beautiful some of these stones can get

[@Omnimegas]

I gasped, dropped my jaw, and had to pause for a solid minute to appreciate the celestial cities. those two pieces are literally breathtaking, probably the most fantastic gem cuts I've ever seen. I have a hard time picking which of the two I like more, they both have such distinct charm to them, I don't think I *could* choose.

The triangular grey stone at 4:19 BLOWS MY MIND!!!! WHO CUT THAT AND WHERE CAN I BUY FROM THEM!?

[@allisonjames2923]

These are absolutely stunning! Those celestial scenes & the cuts that give a completely new look to a gem are jaw dropping. I just stumbled across a “snake cut” gem which has a mesmerising honeycomb effect & had to find out more. Now there are 4 new artists I must check out. Especially the guy who founded this art form 😱

[@Hyszy]

Cities and other things cut into the stone are just magnificent. Also all of 'curvy' cuts, not just straight lines, but curves. These look beautiful and are so much different than geometric faceting with straight lines.

[@sarahcrowley7555]

Omg this is amazing! I didn't know lapidaries could cut stones like that!

[@milesnn]

Magnificent wow talk about amazing and gifted wow wow fantastic knowledge and showing in this video awesome thank you

[@scottyoshi]

Please showcase more of the artists mentions in this video. Such great minds

[@imari2305]

All are just stunning!!

[@TheMerryMagpie]

Wow, I've never seen gems cut like that before, they're beautiful! My favorites are probably the Dom Pedro aquamarine at 1:51 and Dalen Hargrave's sci-fi city scape one (on the left) at 5:39. Though the yellow one at 3:23 was a close contender. ☆u☆

[@janetlinton8155]

i love this channel. ❤️

[@Shock_Treatment]

I've seen fantasy cut stones before, but those city ones were very cool. They seem like something you'd see in the 30s, like an art deco depiction of the future, or like the movie Metropolis.

[@americanrebel413]

Very cool! Thank you.

[@karengarcia8587]

Wow, all those unique carved gemstones are sooo beautiful and awesome.😲🤩💎🔷️💠 It must took a lot of skills to do those markings.🤔 My favorites are the fire torch🔥 one and the celestial cities ones.🌎✨ I like to see them make a heart shaped gems.💖 Nice video.😊💎

[@nak8490]

The possibilities are abundant!

[@GREEKEXPLORERS]

Nice video!!

[@cryforthemoon]

4:57 and 5:40 are my favourites :) Is that a moldavite on the bottom half of the city?

[@gems]

It is moldavite!

[@Ciceroinvencoeseartes]

[@donniebroadwayjr3321]

Wow I want them All 👍👍

[@trevorsmith6216]

People have been cutting unique/artistic patterns in stones before paper existed.

[@The_Conqueeftador]

Nice you showcased John Dyer. He deserves the recognition.

[@jasonochoochoski7442]

Thanks so much Justin...I've been looking my whole life for something more as well. Escapism...solitude...one with nature. Kinda Jeremiah Johnson like. OCHO

[@frankcastle4715]

Kinda.. you know .. Jim Jones like, right?

[@alex.thedeadite]

A technique that would pair well with this that I'm not sure has been done on gems is kintsugi/kintsukuroi (golden joinery/repair). Looked it up just now and it has been done on minerals/gems like turquoise and amethyst, but not crystal clear ones or fantasy cuts (that I can find at least)

[@intaglioarts]

I broke a tourmaline alligator I'm going to try that on.

[@nmcraven]

I looked on your website to purchase and I don't see any fantasy cut stones when I do a search. Do you have any for sale?

[@gems]

We do! If you go to jtv.com and search "Presidents Collection" they are all featured there. You can also search "Sonja Kreis" to see our Kreis cut gems. This green beryl is also one of our favorites: www.jtv.com/product/green-beryl-120-30x15-78mm-custom-prism-bubble-and-miter-cut-167-20ct/XTG3828

She is fantastic..

[@Merj22]

😋 k bye

[@AnahySanchez-Diaz]

Of course she is in a good tone way never in a bad one. Amen Amen.

[@tylercampbell1186]

I think fantasy cuts are only really good for bigger stones of like 10 carats and larger. The smaller ones look fine with just a bunch of small cuts or flat cuts in them, because in the smaller ones you would not be able to see the detail from a distance.

[@coreymerrill3257]

Australis is one of my new favorites . It is not new...but wow is it great in sapphire I have ideas , but I need a sponsor. And some gear... I'm not falling for your sneaky ways of getting trendy ideas for designs to make and sell . I have good ,profitable ideas.

[@arshaislam7997]

I need gemstone cutting and polishing tools .can you deliver to me ?

[@gusty7153]

i feel like this is what was meant for gemstones all along but certain snobby elites have been holding us back for centuries with their insistence of using traditional cuts instead of creative sculptures

[@davidariamirroarkyoung]

My favorite fantasy cuts and don't know if they are just genius or fantasy since it can be cut with standard Lapidary facet equipment and doesn't require any carving only flat facets but the illusion cube and the eye of Horus or eye of ra and Cleopatras eye are all extremely similar and using a combination of the features along the facets that are highly polished next to intentionally rough facets or scratched directional in the eye designs can make for unbearable beauty in the gem I suggest learning all three and then adapting the cut to be a combination of the three and adding different polishes and rough scratches in patterns into the design it is the more you play the more unique and beautiful they become now the illusion cube is shocking at how easy and quick it is with only nine facets or 13 standard they are able to show inclusions like no other gem using a dichroic or trichroic gemstones with a nice in inclusion near center if you position the gem very precisely you can achieve being able to see two or the three colors at the same time along with as you look at different angles it changes colors and shapes along with optical features from inclusions that you couldn't imagine every eye stone and illusion cube I have cut has sold the first day shown I make my own mokume gane to set them into playing with the design and color the metals to accent the gem and then texture and setting and overall design of necklace ring cufflinks and every aspect adds to overall quality they are without question money making cuts Cleopatras eye is cut backwards from how most cutting is done now cutting the table side first it works perfectly with the gem if you do cut the bottom of the stone first you will run into problems need to adjust facets and it is a very advanced cut however both are not technically fantasy cuts and suggest you look at the cuts so understand why I choose them when I know in fact they are just amazing unbelievable standard facet design without any combination of carving and only use traditional faceting techniques

I like the sparkly five-pointed star. And how can a normal human being afford one of these lapidary delights?

[@toadamine]

i dont like most of them... i like some of the nice symmetrical ones but i dont like most of the asymmetrical ones... i do like some of the groove cuts... but mostly just when they make a pattern or have good symmetry and the cuts are straight... i dont like most of the ones with curved designs or the "bubble" look divots
