Cutting a Massive Gemstone Over 1000 Carats! How I Facet This Jumbo Quartz

Video Description

I take on faceting a very large piece of quartz. The piece is over twice as large of the largest stone that I have cut up to this point. I spend nearly 40 hours cutting this stone. The starting weight of the rough piece was 3,215 Carats/643 Grams. The cut piece weighs 1,160 carats.

The massive quartz wore a few of them out. I just bought some cheap ones on amazon that worked with my machine. Topper laps don't cut as true to angle as solid laps, but they are a cheap alternative: https://amzn.to/48ZV7xW Camera used in this video: https://amzn.to/3tZznmU Marco attachment used for close ups: https://amzn.to/3vEf92y
