This Month’s Gem News:   What is the Average Gemstone Faceting Yield?

Most retail or even trade people have no idea what a piece of rough yields on a percentage

basis or perhaps what the weight should be of the starting piece of rough to yield a particular carat weight.

This International Gem Society (IGS) provides some info.

Our One Month Trip Abroad:

After about a month abroad in several Asian countries, we have returned with only 12 gemstones…This compares to looking at many tens of thousands of gems the last time we did a similar trip, where we returned with 150 gemstones – a lot of time spent looking and talking in the past, but we seek center gemstones, so the size has to be correct, the color has to be really fine, the cutting is important as we want lively gems and don’t want the waste of both weight loss and money for those gems that have to be re-cut; and very important, the price has to be correct so that we can be more than just competitive out there in the market and sell gemstones below wholesale, at wholesale and at times between wholesale and retail.  With inventory high and costs for fine material VERY high in the market (and they won’t be going down), plus the 19% commission that must be paid to the US Government for imported items from these areas of the world, it is more than a challenge to be able to make purchases and resell where our clients/customers can both afford and find value.  In looking into some tariffs recently for a better understanding, it seems that Thailand had some tariffs for imported goods from the US, such as industrial parts, some food products and a few limited other items – but the tariffs imposed on the importers in the US purchasing from Thailand, is across the board on all items and is 19%.  For those in the trade that might send out rough to be faceted in different countries, when their material comes back worked, there would in the past be no tariff – now, they must pay 19% in order to obtain their own merchandise back…and if the tariff isn’t paid, the material goes back to the sender.  It seems impossible to break even with all the costs that are associated with traveling, making purchases as close to the source as possible, trying to obtain the best price, and with only a total of 12 gemstone purchased, making ones money back seems an impossibility.  Just the time on a flight to get from the US to these countries, from the East Coast we are typically talking 15 hours onboard ONE PLANE and there are stop overs also, so depending on ones destination, add up to about another 5 hours…and layovers are typically 3 hours, and then there is the anticipated 3 arrival timeframe prior to departure for international travel, not to mention getting to and from an airport…so we are talking about 30 or so hours when one leaves ones office/home to the time they arrive at their destination hotel – and if like many people, that might be 30 hours or so of no sleep and a time change which could be 12-13 hours or so  There is one individual in the mineral trade who was recently traveling for 3 months – he had just left Bangkok prior to our arrival there ourselves, and he was off to India!  He did note that his travel time back home would be about 72 hours – and he took a 4+hour Uber ride from one area in India just to get to the airport.  You really have to love what you do in cases like this with long travel times; and from personal experience, one will get sick with the flu or a cold and frequently have issues with food which puts one out of commission for a few days.  International colds can be incredibly bad also.  And to close out this topic, yes, this time once again, while traveling for a month, a cold was encountered as well as a few bouts of something most likely related to food…

Gemstones in Cutting:

Update – One of our cutters who has had two pieces of interesting rough described below, has failed to come up with cutting designs over the past few months and the rough is on its way back to our office.  We will continue to find a cutter for these two items.  Due to their uniqueness, it has been difficult to have these pieces worked, but we are still trying!

We have a Diaspore started by one of our previous cutters but was left unfinished many years ago (after trimming an original segment/crystal of Diaspore, we obtained about a 100ct piece; the pavilion was started with a few facets and the table and crown area is quite large and must be cut down in the future and the entire piece completed – though the trimmed piece was 100cts, the existing piece in progress is now about 33cts, and it is expected that the finished piece might end up being about 15cts if we are lucky, but we are contemplating a fancy high dome top which might have a checkerboard or opposed bar top.)  This piece has an interesting story, being in the hands of 3 different multi-award winning cutters (AGTA Cutting Edge Awards) as well as a cutter who is known for some unique designs. The 2nd piece that one of our cutters is looking at, is a deep red Oregon Sunstone, with a green rind around the red and then this goes to clear out to all the edges – relatively common in this material when the nice reds are found.  This has copper schiller running in more than one direction and 90 degrees from each other and so this is something that might be sleepy when cut, but could have good color; it is also possible that we will create a cab.

There is very little new rough presently in our inventory in general and we already have representations faceted from that rough, including:  Blue Flash Amethyst, Blended Ametrine, Tourmaline, Color Change Diaspore, Yellow Beryl, Color Change Garnet, Umbalite and Rhodolite Garnet, Oregon Sunstone, Lab Grown Alexandrite and others….

Gemstones in Cutting:
Update – Still awaiting the study of the piece of Diaspore and Oregon Sunstone; looks like the Sunstone might be cabbed and the Diaspore may have a checkerboard high dome top!...  Cutter still looking and pondering – has been about 2 months!...
We are awaiting one of our specialty cutters to see what his thoughts were for completing a Diaspore started by one of our previous cutters but was left unfinished many years ago (after trimming an original segment/crystal of Diaspore, we obtained about a 100ct piece; the pavilion was started with a few facets and the table and crown area is quite large and must be cut down in the future and the entire piece completed – though the trimmed piece was 100cts, the existing piece in progress is now about 33cts, and it is expected that the finished piece might end up being about 15cts if we are lucky, but we are contemplating a fancy high dome top which might have a checkerboard or opposed bar top.)  This piece has an interesting story, being in the hands of 3 different multi-award winning cutters (AGTA Cutting Edge Awards) as well as a cutter who is known for some unique designs.

We have selected some of our rough to be cut and will most likely be sending some material out to be faceted from our rough as well as a recut or two.  (We have decided to temporarily hold off on sending the rough to one of our specialty cutters; but this is only perhaps a small delay.)
We might be selling our existing and last rough to the trade/cutters or perhaps cutting some of it and releasing it at ridiculously low prices – but then again, our prices are a fraction of retail prices seen out there. 
There is very little new rough presently in our inventory in general and we already have representations faceted from that rough, including:  Blue Flash Amethyst, Blended Ametrine, Tourmaline, Color Change Diaspore, Yellow Beryl, Color Change Garnet, Umbalite and Rhodolite Garnet, Oregon Sunstone, Synthetic Alexandrite and others….

Gemstones in Cutting:

We had left two pieces of rough with one of our Multi-Award Winning Facetors (his work is also in museums) prior to leaving the Tucson show, to study and consider faceting; two important pieces consisting of a Diaspore and Oregon Sunstone(Red with Schiller).  Unfortunately, these two gemstone species can be tricky to orient and facet, and we decided to have them returned - I believe our cutter was also relieved.  We have other cutters who are more familiar with faceting these tricky species and we will eventually have them sent out and studied by others.  It is also possible that we will not have them cut due to orientation or other issues, and if that is the case, it will be another example of purchasing costly pieces of rough where we will have to take a large loss – but that happens at times when attempting to purchase rough and to facet fine gems from the rough.

We have selected some of our rough to be cut and will most likely be sending some material out to be faceted from our rough as well as a recut or two.  (We have decided to temporarily hold off on sending the rough to one of our specialty cutters; but this is only perhaps a small delay.)

We might be selling our existing and last rough to the trade/cutters or perhaps cutting some of it and releasing it at ridiculously low prices – but then again, our prices are a fraction of retail prices seen out there. 

There is very little new rough presently in our inventory in general and we already have representations faceted from that rough, including:  Blue Flash Amethyst, Blended Ametrine, Tourmaline, Color Change Diaspore, Yellow Beryl, Color Change Garnet, Umbalite and Rhodolite Garnet, Oregon Sunstone, Synthetic Alexandrite and others….
