The Topaz was 2012 Carats before trimming and pre-forming this stone. Link to original story
Here is the current
cutting and polishing of the pavilion and crown of this exceptional
cutting project. The close up shots are final polishes and the topaz gem
transfer shows the cutting of the crown. More updates coming! Stay
tuned for the final photos of this amazing Huge Unheated Blue Topaz from
Nigeria!

This
is the crown being cut to shape. The next steps will be to pre-polish
the crown, then cut the table. After the table has been cut and
pre-polished, then the final polish will be done on this gorgeous stone.
Because of it's large table, care and precision are given to each and
every touch of the stone to the polishing lap. The diamond polish is
very very fine and can scratch the large table's surface even with the
most gentle of care. This is where the time and patience comes in to
play. With a steady hand and keen eye to detail, patience and slow
polishing, the stone will become a remarkable stone to behold. I am so
anxious to see the finished results.
Stay tuned, this project is in it's final stage and the resulting masterpiece will be a sight to hold!
Enjoy!
