Good job, very nice color. Not sure what 3/4.9ct. means? .75 - .90ct is that correct? Possible you just happened to be on the cleavage plane with your table polish issues, and you got passed it just enough to get a decent polish. Thank you for sharing the journey.

Thank you!
yeah sorry, .75 - .9 ct
it measures 6.2x6.9x3.6 mm
yes the cleavage was parallel to the cutting surface for the table, I wasn't sure about that part when I dopped it but it was the best spot to get good contact. I need to get it down bc I'll have to glue like that a lot.

I know the feeling, sometimes with rough this small and type, it is almost impossible not too. That is what makes faceting sometimes so frustrating, gaining the experience is a rewarding experience in itself.
