Cutting a chrysoberyl gemstone.

Im cutting a chrysoberyl gemstone today. This will be a short unnarrated video using only brief captioning, sorry but ive been real busy. The gem turned out great and rivals any sapphire for brilliance.
I used this sequence for cutting and polishing;
600 crystalite lap for roughing out mains and rounding the stone , followed by a 1200 lap for mains only, then using a zinc lap and 3000 paste i prepolished mains and cut the breaks, The final polish was done using a batt lap(tin) and 60000 pandomonium paste. The crown was cut the same way.
For prepolishing and polishing i use gearloose lapidary products.

I misread the title as Chernobyl. I was expecting something considerably radioactive.

Hi
I'm a fan and also a new gem cutter.
Iv learned many things from you, I have a question , if some diagrams angle is for example 42.26 degree and my facetron machine has only one decimal .
What should I do? If i round up to 42.3 , is it going to affect meet-points????
Thanks and God bless

[@tennpikr74]

Hi and thanks for watching the videos. You will be fine if you round up to the next tenth . I had a facetron too a couple years back and never had a problem rounding up. Its such a minute amount.

What's it cost for that setup? And what's a chrysoberyl? Is that a citrine?

[@implausibleimpossiblehypot4006]

Technically it’s cats eye

[@tennpikr74]

The machine is around $4000. No its not citrine which is a quartz. chrysoberyl is its own mineral,
An aluminate of beryllium.

@@tennpikr74 so is it not a cats eye ??

[@tennpikr74]

@@implausibleimpossiblehypot4006 cats eye refers to chaytoyancy, the effect that gives the look of a cats eye. This clear form of chrysoberyl does not have the fibers or silk to cause that. So no this wouldnt be called cats eye.
