Fourth and final cut
So the initial process to turn the 2504 gram end cut that a Met list member named Derek sent to me for processing is complete
With my current work schedule it took about 5 days making one cut per day.
Here are some pics of the processed material
We ended up with the following
A – 262 gram end cut with 5 cut faces
B – 358 gram end cut with 3 cut faces
C – 163 gram end cut with 3 cut faces
D – 443 gram true end cut, single cut face, this is the nicest end cut of the lot
E – 14 gram fragment consisting of what looks like 2 crystals
My sphere rough weighs 1126 grams and Dmitry is going to earn his money if he gets a 50mm sphere for this rough because it is tight.
We had an initial cut loss of 138 grams or right around 5% so that’s good
