My 2020 faceting gallery

These are some of the gemstones i have cut in the last 6 or 8 months. I photographed them outside on a windy day so some of the stones were actually blown around during the videoing.

Wanted to let you know that your vids are part of what's inspired me to work toward being a gemologist. Thank you for uploading these, they're so cool and relaxing to watch.

[@tennpikr74]

They are outstanding I love the mystical Topaz stone I only wish you could find it natural gemstones I will say as a cutter my self it is in a world of its own from Diamond stone all the way down to zebra stone stone hail to you keep on faceting.

Thanks daniel, but i have to let you know the one with all the color is not topaz, it is prism glass, there is only one topaz in the video which is a clear pear shape. the prism gem is beautiful. Im not quite sure how they make it but a dichroic film is sandwiched between multiple pieces of the material i understand.

Beautiful gallery, Brent. Thanks for putting them all together in one video.

[@tennpikr74]

Thanks, in getting the oval lemon quartz photoed, i managed somehow to chip the culet point. I didnt know till i had watched the finished video.

Some beautiful works of art . Have you ever cut a Arkansas diamond ? All the best. Joe.

[@tennpikr74]

You mean a piece of quartz or real diamond? Im not able to cut diamonds on my machine, its too light weight also i dont have training for diamonds.

[@pittsburghcoinhunting1452]

I meant one of the real diamonds from Crater of Diamonds State Park lots of them are actually famous diamonds. I was just wondering. You've definitely made some beautiful gems.

[@gemfaceter]

Your stones are beautiful you do a great job thanks again for sharing. I wish you could do a video on how you take pictures of your stones as I have tried to photograph mine and the pictures are terrible.

[@tennpikr74]

Thanks flyer, actually i think i do a bad job of videoing but maybe i could try to do one. My camera is not so great too. I hope to get a better one this year.

Where could I buy that ethopian opal, that clear

[@tennpikr74]

Hi bob, sorry but that big round stone with all the colors is not an opal its a glass prism that i cut. I havent had good luck cutting ethiopian opal
but i have a piece i think is good and may try again soon. I would get a hold of steve ulatowski , owner of new era gems , he should be able to get some for you .

[@christianlevraey1326]

J'aime votre gemme éthiopienne ! La vendez-vous ?

[@tennpikr74]

Désolé le bijou très coloré n'est pas une opale, c'était un prisme utilisé dans les projecteurs optiques. Vous pouvez voir la vidéo de la coupe que j'ai faite il y a quelques mois.
