Thought that I'd throw up a couple photos of my latest stone. This cut was designed by Gerald Hand, a late member of the Jacksonville Gem and Mineral Society. It is cut in a rutilated, pale smoky quartz. (14 X 17mm) Only the cross facets are polished on the pavilion.   |

Finished the project.  What appear to be scratches are rutile hairs in the smoky quartz. |

Thanks for all the compliments. I'm trying to figure out what kind of project that I want to do next. If you got any ideas, throw them this way. Rebecca, I know you can come up with an idea or two.
Sincerely,
"Lapidary Block" Mickey

George,
Thanks for the suggestions. I found all the designs except for Don Clark's butterfly, so I didn't get a good look at that cut. Of the other three, I think that I liked the Cheshire the best.
