Nambian Pietersite
« on: May 08, 2015, 12:21:42 PM »
Here are 3 cabs on Nambian Pietersite that I finished up yesterday. I worked hard at not getting it to undercut, tried to recut at least 3 times. But did not have success. Still all in all they came out very nice despite the small amount of undercutting and one pit that opened up on the oval. Thanks for looking.

Very nice. Can you get a pic of the flash?

I have not worked any of that yet but I have some labradorite that at this moment is trying to really .... me off. Parts of it will get a water shine and the other parts won't get past a solid haze. What were your polishing steps and are you using wheels?

You can quote me on this, I have the scar.

These were the photos that I could get. I literally took over a hundred. It is very hard to photograph accurately. They are truly  beautiful cabs in  person.

They look good, Bob.  Anything chatoyant is a PITA to photograph.  I think you did a great job on them!   :thumbsup:
