I don't know how you rate among stone cutters, but I can truly say that was the best set of instructional videos I have ever seen (I'm a master carpenter and own a construction company so I've done a few courses in my time!). The faceting machine works a lot like a compound mitre saw with the different set of angles working together so it was fairly easy for me to understand, as was the careful checking of material removed (measure twice, cut once!). I dabble a bit in buying rough and sell it after getting it cut, but I think I will have a go at cutting myself, will stick to cheap garnet first though. Thanks again for a great set of videos.
I just randomly came across your instructional videos, and watched the full set even though I will never be able to do that. Absolutely fascinating! Thanks so much for sharing 😊
Great video, one can see a ton of expertise based on the years you have been doing this work. What a rewarding talent. I have a new appreciation of the time and effort it takes to transfer these natural stones into works of art.
Wow! Thanks for the first lesson! Amazing, all these years collecting stones, and gems never once have i been able to learn what it truly takes. All of it, detail by detail. You are an Excellent precise teacher, and a great, patient man. Something we all can learn from. Thank you so much for these lessons.
That whole series was fascinating. I looked up gem cutting because I was curious what the machine looked like, and ended up watching them all back to back. Thanks for uploading!
Thanks for these videos! I live very rural and have had no luck finding someone to teach me facet cutting. Just being able to watch this has helped a ton!
Amazing! Brilliant is my favorite cut and since I watched your whole series on this gem I have even more respect for the hard work put into this to make it it a true brilliant cut with high refraction.
Very informative! I've watched the whole series in one go as I am learning to facet in a couple of weeks. Hopefully, this will help me to grasp it quickly! Thank you, Steve, you're a great teacher!
Thankyou very much for this series..I have just bought an entry level machine and hope to turn my spare time into some family gifts and your mannerism and knowledge have set me on the path to do just that..I look forward to more from you..
You are an excellent teacher. I have always had a fascination with gems and now that I have watched your videos I am buying the equipment am going to be a gem cutter. I know I will be good at it, and you have totally motivated me. Thank you so much:)
Thanks Steve, this is wonderful i have enjoyed the series. I am from Namibia and are collecting stones and want to start cutting soon myself. I will keep watching you movies.
Stay tuned Albertus Viljoen, we are in the process of creating a brand new informational cutting series! Steve will be cutting a 1000 carat piece of naturally colored blue topaz rough.
yes, most of the citrine I get around the US here is more yellow than orange... its interesting to see how you had somewhat needed to struggle a little with that other machine compared to the ultra
Portuguese cuts are relatively easy on a good Machine. I have a Facette machine that I use for Portuguese cuts as it is a little more accurate than the alpha Taurus.
Thanks so much Steve. You have cut this stone beautifully. I am newly interested in rockhounding and faceting. I really appreciate your videos ALOT! I spent last night faceting this stone with you ( well, watching you of course). Can you please do more video's on cutting. A video on reading patterns and determining pattern for specific stones would help a lot. You did a great job explaining this throughout your video's but 1 video would make a great reference. Can't wait for the next video!
Very nice! Kalm, informative and positive! Highly appreciated! I have a lot of uncut gems (rubies, emeralds, garets, turmaline, rhodite, black turmaline etc) but no facet machine and no knowledge!.... I see different reccomendations on what brand of mashine to buy. What would be your reccomendation (I know you mentioned a couple of brands in the first part, but for a beginner, what would you reccomend?).
Good videos, just finished watching. Funny you show Glenn & Martha Vargas faceting books. That is my wife’s great grandfather, I have all 4 volumes of his books on faceting. Glenn son Conrad (wife grandfather) gave us his portable faceting machine with most of the tools. My biggest thing is how to cut a big stone to get the most out of it. Have I missed a video on you sawing a stone? Thanks for sharing
Hi! That is neat that your wife is related! This was the first series we did on gem cutting. You can see our second series here, where I show trimming the piece of rough and determine what to cut from it. th-cam.com/video/lSXDzKd9ggY/w-d-xo.html
I’m watching them now thanks! I would have loved to have talk with Glenn and had him show me more on cutting the facets. His son gave me a crash course on just the facet side, which I think my first stone came out amazing and he was impressed as well. Some of the rough that he gave us is crazy nice like glass. I’m afraid of messing it up so have been trying to use not so good rough lol. Thanks again!
Would love to take lessons from you and have enough money to get some equipment and do it myself as it's a dream to do it but seeing how that won't happen I will just have to make do with enjoying watching you do a wonderful job.
absolute perfection my friend, it's been really good watching and learning from you, and you can count that I'll be watching all the videos you post in the future, I have wondered could the gem be cut free hand and if so could you maybe do a video on that I sure would like to see how that's done.
You might try removing your stones from the dop by putting them in a small saucepan and slowly boiling the water, Takes a lot less time than soaking in acetone, Works well with sapphires and I have done it this way for over thirty years. Regards, RIck.
hi.thanks for teaching us I am very excited about gemstone cutting and polishing processing I like you videos thanks again your work is brilliant.thanks again
Wow! what a great precision in cutting gemstone ..superb technique .. can you do a video too sir ? like turning a blue BENITOITE gemstone into a finished precised faceted brilliant Blue Gem ? Would love too see it .. coz Blue is what I love ..Hoping you could do it ..thanks and hoping for more of your superb videos . (y)
Cricket Cricket this gem is about $71.00 per carat. $420.00 for the stone. You can see it online here: www.moregems.com/loose-cut-gemstones/citrine-loose-gemstones/citrine-round-brilliant-5-90-carats.html
Have really enjoyed watching this, although I doubt I'd have the patience to do it myself. I noticed on your website that you did some jewelry using peridot, which is a lovely stone. My favorite, though, is chrome diopside--just love the gorgeous forest greens. Have you worked with chrome diopside? At any rate, that citrine turned out just beautiful, thank you!
there is a programme on television called gem hunters, they took the raw stone to a stone cutter and he cut it all by hand the reason I asked if you did this as I've only ever seen it before because of that program and the more I had looked into it the more i found out its looks so different to the stone you cut, but I just wondered if you have ever done a cut like this
+Robert like I have cabbed and faceted by hand. I don't recommend it as the outcome is not great. I can make a pretty stone by hand but prefer greatness. Most overseas cutters use a more primitive machine called jamb peg which may look like hand cut but it is a machine.
Hi Mr. Moriarty, thank you for all the info. I watched the entire series in one sitting. I am wondering about one detail -when you adjusted to eliminate the inclusion, or chip, from 42 degrees down to 35 on the "c" cut ( I think)... I'm wondering if you then continued on at the lower degree setting for the rest of the cuts or if you continued with the higher set of numbers except for the row of cuts with the flaw you needed to eliminate and only this series of cuts? Once again I can't stress enough gratitude for your time with this highly informative series. I've just recently become enamoured with lapidary arts and gems in general, bought some used equipment but yet to cut my first stone. Your videos guide me a long way toward this. Overwhelmed with gratitude and much thanks. Cheers;
+Janet L. Sotelo Thanks, we made it here at Moriarty's Gem Art. It is an opal, it's an Ethiopian Opal. You can see our selection of Welo Ethiopian opal that we've cut at www.OpalLust.com .
joel cataylo What is six hours worth. Here in the U. S. the plumber or the auto mechanic charges $100 per hour. Maybe this stone sold for $350. We have to be selective what we cut. The reward needs to be worth the effort. This value for size in this material for me is marginal.
MoreGems.com. Hi dear i need little help before i make a purchace of courndum (rough).if i want a about 10 carat sapphire gemstone how weight should be of natural courndum yellow sapphire ?.thanks
There is no exact answer, as it depends on the starting shape of the rough and any flaws that you may need to work around. For example, if you want to end up with a round brilliant and the rough is rectangular, the recovery is going to be pretty low. Also, some stones have to be cut along certain axes, due to cleavage planes - zircon is a good example of that requirement. With a fairly decently shaped piece of rough, I aim for around 30% to 35% recovery.
I have a tanzanite with a scratch on the table. It is already set and surrounded by diamonds. Is there any way to remove the scratch? Also, why are softer stones set with diamonds , since the cleaning of them is so different. My husband purchased this ring for me many years ago and I want to wear it but the scratch is noticeable, to me anyway. Thank you.😊
Hello! Other than taking it to a lapidary to polish the table, there is no easy way to remove the scratch. As far as cleaning goes, take it to your local jeweler and they should be able to professionally clean it. Tanzanite does not fair well in an ultrasonic cleaner depending on the size/clarity of the gem. (We do put some in the cleaner, but that is case by case situation depending on the ring/stone)The vibration/heat of the cleaner can damage the stone.
MoreGems.com Thank you for replying to my comment. I live in south Ga., and don't know of any lapidary near by. Where are you located? If you are not near, ( in Ga. ) I guess our next trip to northern Ga., I'll have to remember to take my ring. I'm sure there is a reputable lapidary located there. Could you make a suggestion, if you know of one, in this state. The ring was not inexpensive, so I'd like to take it to someone with good experience. Thank you, again.😊
Unfortunately we don't know of anyone we could refer in Georgia or near by. If you would like, we could possibly help you with that in January. We would just need to see pictures of the piece to see what the scratch looks like, as well as if the Table of the stone is accessible within the mounting. Tanzanite is one of the gems that we specialize in, so we are very familiar with the material. You can see our loose tanzanite gemstones and jewelry here: www.TanzaniteJewelryDesigns.com - We are located in Northwest Indiana, so the piece would need to be shipped. If you would like you can send an email to us at Sales@MoreGems.com.
MoreGems.com Thank you for responding to my comment. I will have to think about sending my ring in the mail. Too sentimental to me, I would hate to have the ring lost in the mail. I will take your information into consideration. Thanks so much.😊
You can see a detailed list of what you will need in the description of our indroductory video here: th-cam.com/video/w6FEaxgSNgg/w-d-xo.html -- All the equipment you need (except the faceting machine) will cost around $1000.00 -- The price of a faceting machine will vary depending on the manufacturer you choose.
I would love to become a lapidary, but unfortunatly it's difficult to find someone who will be ready to teach you the work, expecially here in France where there is not a lot of lapidary! So I'm afraid I will find no job If I decide to follow that path! Or I would need to go to America! :D
You could pick it up as a hobby first! The books we recommend and these videos should be a good starting point! Let us know if you have any questions. Thanks for watching.
To More gems, I love what you can do with a gem, mold it to a beautiful diamond shape stone. I believe that is how we are when we come to know Jesus Christ as our Lord and savior, he takes away the ruff edges and grinds us to produce a beautiful vessal of a gem. Blessings
Wow i had no idea how much precision work goes into cutting gemstone .I can now appreciate a cut stone even more. great videos.
Thanks for watching! It's very rewarding work.
You're a good teacher. Very generous with your knowledge and patient with your work. Thank you.
Glad you liked it, thank you for watching! We'll continue to add content as we can.
This was fantastic. I want to learn to do this and found this very helpful and informative.

Thanks again for a great set of videos.
You're welcome, I appreciate the kind comment! Thanks for watching, and let us know if you have any questions!
This is absolutely the best tutorial i ever found in the whole youtube. You are so generous and such a good teacher Thanks!
Thanks for watching Carlitos! We hope to have another full informational series up within the next few months.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge, you are a true master of this art 👏👏👏
Such an awesome thing to see from start to finish! Makes me appreciate my gem more, thank you :)

Can clear topaz that's in the matrix be cut into a gem? It's very clear/transparent around 1.5 inches long.
Technician refining and shaping with experience
Wow thats stunning!!!!!!! Thank you for sharing you`re amazing talent, looking forward to more of your videos! :)
How much would that stone be worth? I've heard that you can sometimes double the value of the ruff, is that true?
You need to at least double your money as there are those stones that don’t come out well.
god bless you. thanks for sharing your wonderfull work
How did you dissolve the epoxy? In the past, videos did not have subtitles. It is not clear what liquid you placed the stone in.

Totally fascinating my friend,! 👍
Thanks for watching!
hello! good day! just want to ask on how much does it usually cost for cutting that gem?

What is six hours worth. Here in the U. S. the plumber or the auto mechanic charges $100 per hour. Maybe this stone sold for $350. We have to be selective what we cut. The reward needs to be worth the effort. This value for size in this material for me is marginal.
