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.
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. 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 cab it but awaiting our
specialty cutter (also considering to facet the Diaspore noted above) to think
about the options - he is more familiar with the idiosyncrasies of Oregon
Sunstone with a green rind and copper schiller. He has faceted some of
our OR Sunstone in the past and he himself does indeed own a claim in the high
deserts of Oregon where he mines Sunstone!. The outcome for these two
pieces is still yet to be determined! They are currently in his queue and
he will study them and get back to me with suggestions and possible cutting
thoughts…
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….
