Sweet Olympic Poppy Jasper high dome cab
« on: March 31, 2015, 04:35:54 PM »
After a nice weekend spent with  goodearth joshua i got a few nice pieces to come home with and thought its about time to try and cut some more local stones and joshuas is about my most favorite pattern so i found a really nice silicated piece with great fortified poppy pattern showing. decided to go with a more classic oval high domed cut for this to show as much of the sweet poppy pattern as possible top the bottom (sorry for the blurry subpar photos) sideviews after some polishing on the wornout 600grit diamond definitely looking forward to cutting some more of thee elusive olympic poppy jasper into beads!!

Nice shine on that, Gergis.  I love the little quartz vein.

I've only done one other piece of this poppy so far and had a bit of trouble getting a good polish without undercutting and I feel I just about nailed this piece
