Info about the barrel cut?

[beaujolais]

I recently saw a stone on a website in a "barrel cut". It was rather pretty.

I did a Pricescope and Google search on barrel cut and didn''t find anything.

Does anyone know about barrel cuts?

Thanks.

I''ve been eyeing a barrel cut aqua......oh I hope it''s not the same one!

Thanks all.

Harriet, that is the one I was looking at (not to purchase, necessarily) and thought the cut was pretty neat !

Michelle, no I''m not eyeing your aqua

, it was the one Harriet saw. I bet an aqua would be nice in a barrel cut. It seems to spice things up a bit.

Hope you are all having a great summer.

Sonoma,

This might show the ''barrel cut'' better: http://www.artcutgems.com/item.php?item_id=269 I don''t think the term is technical, just descriptive.

Oh, cool. Thanks Harriet. Interesting cut, isn''t it?
