Cutting An Oregon Sunstone With Schiller Start To Finish. It Turned Out Amazing!

I show some of the cutting process as I facet a piece of raw Oregon Sunstone with schiller. I cut the piece in close to the orange spot to help the stone finish with a nice orange color. I cut using the meet point faceting style and use Arya Akhavan's design "Gnome's Geode".

The raw stone weighed 6.81 carats before any preforming and finished cutting at 1.15 carats and 6.50mm wide. I could have kept it a little bigger, but the color was more important than size in this piece. The cutting went smooth and the finished piece is amazing!
