Hello Everyone :wavey:

Managed to pick this up from Gene's last drop - including his image too (hope that's ok), it's a great shot.

Just wanted to post a couple pictures showing off the amazing facets, precision, and star work. Cannot imagine how much time this must have taken, and wanted to show another perspective.

Couldn't pass up adding these to the board, and have been (mostly) silently enjoying everyone else's beauties and baubles!

Straight from the camera, no edits - beyond crop/resizing. Thank you Gene for this beauty! :appl:

I love these really fancy cuts. Richard Homer's snowflake also comes to mind. What are the stats on this one?

I haven't ventured into fancy cuts, but maybe I need to! Whoa. :love: :love: :love:

FrekeChild: Now I must look up Richard Homer's snowflake (as I have a thing for snowflakes).

Thanks DK - very unique stone and craftsmanship.

Freke - The fantasy cuts are really something else, got to see one of those Snowflakes, wow.

Sorry about the stats, little bit rusty. Bolivian - 7.17 carats, 12.33mm. Very true words in Gene's description, the Star is stronger in person.

Sparkilies: I'd recommend them for something different.

Here's a couple others: http://www.gemfix.com/gem_intrusion_1.html

And a PS featured RH Snowflake: https://www.pricescope.com/gallery/acidfree_albums/vendors/wink_jones/Snowflake_Topaz

Thank you! I have a feeling John's site will be my "work" for the afternoon. :naughty: I like the "stellar" cut Aquamarine on Gemfix's site. That's pretty. Oh, and that topaz ... :lickout:

I appreciate you pointing out some good resources.

Sparkilies - Richard Homer also has a couple Topaz on his site for sale - http://www.concavegems.com/detail.cfm?zNum=6983 & http://www.concavegems.com/detail.cfm?zNum=6982

This Blue Topaz is also very unique: http://www.concavegems.com/detail.cfm?zNum=6963 but not a snowflake.

Chrono: Fun Huge Gem ;-)

Divad: Thank you - and thank you for that link. Those are very cool... Anyone have one?

Couple more - this time through the table with different backgrounds.
