These look great =D> I like the cut choices (and the cutting!) - they're "normal" enough to be sale-able, but still not your run of the mill jewelry store fare. I predict you'll be selling more stones soon!

Good job Barney, pretty soon you will be making that $100/hr ( over $200,000 per year) !

So how many more stones to sell to pay for all the gear. That's a lot of cutting or you could dig a truck load of rough to sell on the forum.
They look great Barney .

Thanks for compliments :)
As for paying for my gear ... Jeez . I dived in the deep end , will be a while before I come up for air . As for selling rough .. I think 30 carat zircon s that I've dug deserve a polish treatment from moi.
Did you heat treat any of the smaller ones ?
That'll decide how much rough is going to be dug . And if your coming with me , don't think you'll get of easy by not digging:) you need a good eye to spot the blood zircon in top sieve , they don't give away much , especially when it's the size of a 50cent piece!
Barney
