Giving a Scratched up Morganite a New Cut and Polish, Recutting a Gemstone

This damage piece of morganite is given a beautiful modern cut. The damage to the stone was more extensive than realized causing some extra steps needed during the cutting of the stone.

I don't like it when I have to go back and recut facets that I have already finished, but it has to happen sometimes to get the stone cut just right.

Man well done! As a jewelry buyer who takes appointments from the public, people don’t understand what kind of damage a scratch or abrasions can do to their gemstones. Very very thorough analysis and work Matt

[@MattsCornerofGemCutting]

Thanks! If people are careful with their jewelry, their stones can look amazing for a long time without accumulating much wear. When a stone accumulates abrasions and scratching, it reduces the luster of the stone causing it to loose its crisp clean look from when the gemstone was newly polished.

This was a great video. Fun to watch-I loved the closeups, and it’s just fascinating to observe this process. Thank you!

Do you do this as a hobby or for a career? perhaps both? nevertheless, I love these videos so much and am obsessed. would love to try to do this some day

[@MattsCornerofGemCutting]

It's becoming more of a career. It is something that I do enjoy doing!

Hi very good

[@SnowTiger45]

What make/model of Camera do you use for your Lap-Elevation video recording ?
PS> Great job recovering after over-cutting the Table Facet. It's a fantastic looking Morganite.

[@MattsCornerofGemCutting]

Thank you! In some of my earlier videos, I was borrowing some cameras before I got my own. That close up on was a DJI Action camera.

Hi! What kind of equipment is this?

[@MattsCornerofGemCutting]

It is a mast type faceting machine. I use an Ultratec V5 Analog faceting machine along with the different grit cutting and polishing wheels and other accessories needed for cutting and polishing gemstones.

Wow beatiful

Thank You!

How many time do u take to mirror polish a facet ?
I don't know if its my lap or my technique but it can take me 15 minutes more to polish a litle facet and i don't know if its normal ( i have a copper lap and path through 320 - 600 - 3000 - diamond paste polish ) on a aqua marine

Can your equipment cut diamond?

[@MattsCornerofGemCutting]

I would need some extra equipment for cutting diamond.
