Scapolite
Scapolite
My first scapolite, in Trioptic Blast by Andrew Brown. I was expecting a lot more trouble with this, due to cleavage planes, but it was actually a joy to cut
ooooo I like that cut.. that came out great! What was the design you used? I have a largish peach morganite that's in the form of a triangular prism, and am debating a large cut, or cutting the stone in slices and doing a matching set of trillion cuts.
Been too busy with real life to cut much right now, am hoping to start back up in a week or so.
edit: I should have read the post description about the design. đ
It's Trioptic Blast, from this free book: https://facetingdesigns.com/beginnerbook/ I wanted to do something very simple for a stone I'm not used to cutting, and it came out way better than it should!
I'm working my way through Andrew Brown's cuts right now myself, and this one is on my list! Your stone is stunning, I'm even more excited to try this shape out now.
It's a super fun cut to do!
