WoW, Nicky, those are really nice!! thanks for sharing them with us! how large are the faceted bixbite which you proudly own? gosh, didn't realize that only about 60lbs of the material has been faceted.
probably very very few are faceted but sometimes is rumor usualy more material is cut.
people say that taafeite only 1 dozen is cut, if that is true i already saw those dozen on net
but few times i see this scarce material on net.

The one in the large case is 1.51ct. The square in the small case is .47ct., the others smaller. From what I understand,the mine is closed and capped with the landscape restored.
