Thanks mike. There is still tiny inclusions in it but oh well.

Beautiful work, Brent. At first view of the rough on the dop, I thought the inclusions would be a major issue. However, after your cut the finished stone is beautiful. Thanks for the nice video.

Ohh nicee, did you win the faceter's guild competition? That's amazing! I've always admired the winner stones, they're absolutely gorgeous.
