To celebrate a year of doing the most expensive hobby ever, I tried my hand at doing a Portuguese cut. Sadly the veils weren’t obvious until I started cutting, but I hate throwing things away so I just followed through to the end. Design is Round Portuguese Cut by Justin K. Prim, in amethyst

    Yeah, it’s tough. My son has started to get into cutting… which is cutting into my cutting time. 😂 He cut a tourmaline this weekend, and neither of us noticed some of the inclusions until he was polishing. Didn’t affect the stone’s look.

    Nice job on this!

      Cheers! This was another gem show bargain bucket, aimed at new agers, find. I can’t complain too much for the amount I paid!
