The wonderful Phil Lagas-Rivera is still helping me take pics! SO here's some fun stuff.
The first is yttrium orthovanadate, the second is YAP (yttrium-aluminum perovskite). Both of these synthetics are hilariously, absurdly rare The last is a natural Tanzanian spinel, ~7.5ct, that I'll be recutting since it looks like butt.

maialetto, that is a very attractive cut for the Morganite and Topaz, is it one of yours from the design page?
That one is not on the GemologyProject (yet?). In morganite is nice, but I like it more with red garnets, especially if you make the table larger.

MARCO I LOVE THIS DESIGN
Redesigned with a little more "arched" profile (and a shallow pavillion) for material with RI>2 you could probably get something to make you brag about having SIX "tables" side by side But I tend to cut low RI stuff, so this one is OK. If I had to cut it in CZ and such, I'd sure try to Markohinoor-ize it, tho.
