First stone I finished!

It's about the size of a pinkie finger nail, so super tiny. I wanted it to be a diamond, but it said no and turned into a heart instead. For my first rough gem cutting, shaping and polishing myself, I'm pretty pleased.

It is pretty! Are you saying you carved this out of a gem stone? That's pretty awesome!

Great Job! It looks so cute! Lapidary work seems like so much fun.  :)

As a jeweller in the making, I'd love to learn to cut my own rocks but I'm not sure I'll have the time.  :huh:

It did take an hour or so, and a lot of money to get the tools. I think it will be interesting when I have a stone that does better with facets rather than beveling.

Yay!!!! Lapidary!

Opal is hard to polish due to getting the orientation right so you see the pretty colours. You have done a beautiful job :)

I used to work for a company that sold lapidary supplies. I never got to cut a stone, but I learnt a lot about the machines, tools, materials and processes :)

Love pkw xxx

Thank you all  :blush: I think I'm going to polish it a bit more before I set it. It's part of a christmas gift.
