Cutting Instructions
I attempt to accurately represent and describe cut stones and rough
as to appearance, size, origin and fully disclose any known
treatments in its description. Because you view the images on a
different monitor with different settings, color is particularly fickle
to represent, but I do my best.

Cutting Remarks  -  "The Beautiful One Has Come" is the translation from Egyptian.  Good for beryl through CZ.  This
was designed for a large piece of aquamarine.  This design is not especially difficult to cut, but the pavilion can be trying at
times.
