Calling all gem cutters/faceters. I need some helpful opinion pls pls pls...
How long does it take to recut/repolish a 10x8.5 EC tourmaline (5ct)? Assuming it has no veils/cracks/internal fractures whatsover (e.g. VVS clarity)
Will it take an hour? 2 hours max? 3-4 hours or so? Please enlighten me. Thanks in advance u guys!
I've attached photos of the gem candidate for recut and the inspiration/desired result as a reference (From badly chipped/horrible cut, to a nicely polished/cut Emerald Cut)
