The proof is in the pudding.
It’s the exception that proves the rule.
Don’t count your chickens before they hatch…
In other words, it doesn’t hurt to check your assumptions…
In the previous experiment I wanted to assess how variable the faceting material I have is. I’m pretty pleased with the result – about 90% usable material. I’ve been looking through the material since and it’s a fairly consistent result and I’m confident assuming anyone getting this material will be able to cut some decent stones.
But it doesn’t hurt to check your assumptions. (Yes, I already said that… worth repeating)
I’ve selected a small batch of material from the sorted material and a single larger piece and arranged to have them cut into stones. It’ll take a few months to come back, but I think it’ll be worth the wait.
| sizes (carats) | Total (carats) | |
| Batch 1: AA grade | 7.2, 5.7, 8.9, 7.6, 6.8, 8.5 | ~45 |
| Batch 2: A grade | 7.0, 6.8, 6.8, 7.4, 11.5, 8.9 | ~48 |
| Batch 3: B grade | 8.5, 5.9, 6.8, 7.2, 9.4, 8.0 | ~45 |
| Batch 4: AA grade | 20.3 | 20.3 |
