Color and clarity definitely improved, it's a shame the culet angle was so shallow. Even with that challenge you took a mediocre stone and gave it beauty. Cheers.
How do you calculate recutting fees? I have a handful of stones that are collectibles but have too much extinction. I'd love to see cut-correction clips of Kunzite, Kyanite, Zircon, Tourmaline or Garnet. Thanks in advance! As for this emerald, wow!
@@LostWithoutHer we charge per cart based on the final weight. There’s also a minimum charge so if the final stone is one or 2 carats, then it’s just a flat rate. If you’re interested in having us cut some stones, email me.
@@AneesMuhammed-mb4qz definitely. For me the Jambpeg is a fun tool for exploration. The quality of my work on the Jambpeg is not very good. The Handpiece machine is my main work machine and it’s what I do all my customer stones on.
My lapidary table cost 299 from ebay. The chinese green ones. It only has one speed warp speed. I cant cut chrome tourmaline, emeralds, veiled stones, epidote, or apache tear because they would explode. I need a machine like yours.
I have the same as Justin's. I'm still a noob, but it's really nice to have a machine that can go from ~55RPM to 2500RPM. That range allows me to work delicately and also to be rough with it, and all of this at a very competitive price
@@idonthaveaname42 different melting point and different ingredients. Red wax is medium heat so it melts easy without having to get the stone or wax too hot. I find the green wax very hard to get to work properly. The green wax Ive seen in Thailand always needs to get mixed with another brown wax to work correctly.

Beautiful job!
Nicely done, Justin. Can you make a video on various polishing laps, how and when to use them?
@@RatnaMaharaj good idea!
@@JustinKPrim looking forward to it

Hi Justin, why do you prefer this machine rather than jampeg?

why your dop wax red and others are green
@@idonthaveaname42 red is my favorite one. I don’t like the green one at all. It’s hard to use.
@@JustinKPrim whats the functional difference?
