Comment on Orienting star stones. by Louis Eugene Carabini

..Hang or hold the light as directly above you as possible and .allow the eye produced in a small bead of liquid on the .surface of the gem to guide you to the position of the .required effect this may take a few goes if the phenomena is .weak as in most garnet and quartz. Asteriated and .adularescent stones are sometimes cut as eyes too and this is .the easiest way to find that eye. This method is employed .extensively throughout the Far Eastern cutting houses and is .the reason for the enormous bellies seen on most star .sapphires and rubies…I have cut Chrysoberyl cats-eye as small as 1.25mm dia.

Thanks for the tips. I’ve been vaguely wondering how to achieve this kind of thing. It’s nice to have the basics to start.

Very good idea there Tony. I hadn’t thought of this before, and it makes very professional.

Strange this post is totaly unrelated to what I was searching google for, but it was listed on the first page. I guess your doing something right if Google likes you enough to put you on the first page of a non related search.

I feel like I know reasonably well how to cut the proper angles, but I know very little about how to orient the stone for maximum fire, although I can still learn about cutting angles better.
Thanks,

I would like to join you membership. I am a facetor, of some experience, but still in need of more instructions to cut a better stone.
Thanks,
Robert

Strangely, I was searching for was not it, Google gave your site, and apparently not in vain, there is something to read! Goodwork!
