For some reason this is more beautiful and spectacular than a diamond. Something so simple is so beautiful in side. Magnificent crystal , touching video.
Holy cow! That was so satisfying to watch. I am a jeweler and getting ready to dive into faceting all this quartz in a bucket for the first time. Thank you for posting this!
That was amazing!!! I will never take for granted all the work that goes into cutting, shaping ,polishing , and finishing a gem.. Thank you for your time and craftsmanship
Technically Feldspar would probably outnumber quartz. But that doesn't really change anything, both Feldspar (especially potassium) and quartz are beautiful
It's over a year since you've made this video. And it's still getting love. Thank you for putting the so many hours of work, learning, cutting, editing, and adding music selection. Not only was the Quartz The work of art, your video displayed all the same qualities. Bravo on many levels!
My uncle was pastor cologne he cut the diamond that Richard Burton bought Elizabeth Taylor I watched him hand cut diamonds for Harry Winston in New York this talent is amazing to take a stone and make it a masterpiece you did a beautiful job on the crystal thank you for your talents and this video !!!!!!
I'm just a garden variety stonemason and this video is inspirational, thank you so much for making the video I feel the love for stone again. Bless you
I taught people how to cut these 46 years ago in the Army. I cut the stone for my wife's engagement ring! We did it a LITTLE differently, but basically the same, and the results were the same!
You are a true artist. New subscriber here. I only wish I could cut stones on the level that you can. Each stone you free brings a little more light into this world.
Oh I did I absolutely love gemstones and I think the people who create such timeless works of art are not given enough credit for their gifts. Gemstones are the earth in its purest form! A masterpiece of time, random chemistry, and great powers of heat and pressure. Gem cutters take that perfect piece of earth and set it free to be the beautiful piece art that it is and it will last forever! It's just amazing once you think about it. Each gem you cut has the ability to exist as long as this planet (or longer) will with so many lives getting to enjoy its beauty through out time. Do you sell finished stones? I just have to ask sorry.
Omgeee. I have always wondered & wanted to see how this is done. So grateful that I came across you video because this just amazes me. You have an amazing talent & patience & its to be Respected. You definitely have a Beautiful gift! Thanx for sharing your gift with us. You brought out the Stones Inner Beauty!! Blessings ⚘👌👍💞
Awesome job on the video, great explanation without annoying voices, love the way you use the camera and close ups for explanations! The only thing you didn't do was explain the equipment you used to beginners, but A+ job!
This is a skill that is getting losts! You are so skilled,why not give classes..I'm sure many would love to learn this and what a wonderful hobby. I would like some day a Vogel crystal but they are skill expensive because apparent only 2 people can master the cut and setting the intentions when doing it...need new blood before this craft is lost! Thank you for sharing this video, gives me more appreciation for the art of stone cutting
it is very good indeed!! not only when you're starting, but also when you want to perform some new cuts or when you still have trouble with micro scratches. If you master the basics, you master the advanced!!
Beautiful video and awesome work. I couldn't see before it the difference between a diamond, but now easily can find scratches on the surface. Thanks for sharing master.
It's such an honor and pleasure to watch master at work. If you wouldn't mind me asking, what is the english name for the gem holding vise with the degree angle settings? I'm collecting a list of tools I need to start learning the craft in spare time. Thanks!
Please forgive a fellow cutter for making an observation. I think some corner facets may have added a bit more sparkle. Of course I probably would have done the same if I had been cutting that stone. It's easier to suggest when you have nothing to loose. Very nice job. Every facet met at the proper point. The polish is perfect. I always found quartz one of the most difficult to polish.
while a cut stone is pretty and the workmanship that goes into is intense. I have allways admired the beauty of uncut stones. Also how many times have you polished your own fingers?
Keep ‘em coming! Your video is a great refresher of a faceting class I took some time ago. Just picked up a used Facetron & the video will help me get faceting again with more confidence.
+Ian Jennings Stick with it Ian. Messing up is all part of the learning process. I remember that the first couple of months I didn't have clue what was going on (especially with polishing). Joining a gem club and having a experienced faceter teaching you is well worth it. Cheers
I’m teaching myself. Also been needing to build most of my faceting machine. Luckily I’m a machinist and it comes naturally. Thank you for the kind words!
Hello, Lovely video showing the process and attractive result. There were some aspects of the process I imagined incorrectly (making the girdle) and others I'd wondered about (the transfers and centering). When faceting various minerals are the facet angles adjusted to match the various index of refraction values? So is a round brilliant zircon faceted with different angles than a diamond?
Paul Cooper Yes the angles are changed to the refractive index of the particular gem in question. Diamond has a high refractive index so most angles work. Thats why most diamonds are usually cut to weight.
@@trex70 Not often, but I’ve done my fair share! Mostly citrine, clear quartz and an amethyst or two. I found garnet to be an easier material as a beginner!
@@grossleg123 Yeah they call it “hydroquartz” and it’s just as expensive as the real stuff nowadays. And, it comes in every fake color you can imagine. Hate that stuff!
Trolls come with the territory Joe. They probably want a few cocktail waitresses hovering in the background while I cut a gem. That may make them thumb up. Cheers
Thank you for that process, I had no idea that the girdle was first to Be faceted. It really helps my brain to see the order of things. Nice job on the video also, well presented, without all the chatter Of someone’s knowledge interrupting the wonderful process. Really Learned a lot!!! Dave, lighting bolt forge.
That really answered a lot of questions I didn't even know I had. Amazing how much of the original material is abraded away to get the final product. No wonder a gem-cut diamond is so expensive after seeing this.
Well diamonds would be cut for less loss, quartz not a huge concern, I imagine; and diamonds are faceted even when they're microscopic, a tiny quartz would be a waste of time to do all that work for.
This fucking guy makes it look like a stroll in the park on a Sunday morning. I cant help but but Bob my head to the music and think of good times when i watch this
For some reason this is more beautiful and spectacular than a diamond. Something so simple is so beautiful in side. Magnificent crystal , touching video.
Nah diamonds have rainbow luster and sparkle more
Yeah if he did a diamond this size it would be other-worldly
But simple is appealing as well
@@TheUrantiaBook it would certainly look more impressive but other-worldly nah, a zircon or cubic zirconia has almost the same sparkle as a diamond
Holy cow! That was so satisfying to watch. I am a jeweler and getting ready to dive into faceting all this quartz in a bucket for the first time. Thank you for posting this!
So that's how it's done
What's the name of all the equipment you used?
Wonderful ❤
That was amazing!!!
I will never take for granted all the work that goes into cutting, shaping ,polishing , and finishing a gem.. Thank you for your time and craftsmanship
The guy I had cutting my stones would never let me watch. Thanks. Far as I can see, that was a perfect job.

Plentisaki ditto, you just kinda end up here one day, and have zero regrets about it.
Same here 😅
I love stumbling on random shit on youtube

Astonishingly detailed. I have wondered how this was done my whole life. Thank you!!
its called a crystal, they are made naturally not by people who cut them

Same here! @Excelsion

To think that the most abundant mineral on earth could look so beautiful, is completely amazing well done it looks incredible
Technically Feldspar would probably outnumber quartz. But that doesn't really change anything, both Feldspar (especially potassium) and quartz are beautiful
If done right, quartz can be really pretty. Nice job.

That was remarkable work. I love crystals and that was just brilliant watching you do your craftsmanship. Fantastic work!
OH!..... I've never seen quartz crystal cut that way.
Just beautiful !!
Thank you. Quartz comes out almost like a diamond finish if cut and polished correctly....
That was pure joy to watch. thank you for showing us your skills as a cutter.
I love the music on this video. Nice stone as well. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it
Never thought quartz could look like diamonds, brilliant work 👍👌
Without doubt the most stunning piece of quartz I've ever seen!
Vary nice I have been running a antique Lee on a 64 index for the last 2 years and love it watching this Is reminder I need to get back at it

I love the clarity of quartz
Great! What a craftsmanship bravo!👍. It was meticulously edited video keeping the essence of the craft. Was very satisfying to watch.
Thank you for you kind comment.
It's such an honor and pleasure to watch master at work.
did you just copy paste part of someone elses comment...?
Pretty.... I always wondered what quartz would look like with a diamond type cut
It looks amazing, do this myself but don't put on UA-cam
I had been searching for this content for years and finally found it. What satisfaction to have found it
Thank you.
Wow I was hynotised. What a craftsman. Brilliant.
Fantastic job!

Quartz seems like a good stone to practice on when you're just starting out
it is very good indeed!! not only when you're starting, but also when you want to perform some new cuts or when you still have trouble with micro scratches. If you master the basics, you master the advanced!!
I'm a Gemologist Look at the Gem luster shining like Zircon btw I appreciate your great work man I'm also gonna Learn Faceting
Extremely nice job! I would wear that in a wedding ring in leu of a diamond!
just a person Diamonds are overrated!

Loved it, especially the part where you get your hi-tech coolant from the tap.
Beautiful. Perfect music. I would have loved to see the setting you chose.
What clarity in that crystal. You have an amazing skill set.
Absolutely stunning!!
Quartz and other gems are my favorite. I will choose quartz over diamonds any day
Quartz is a very under rated material. Faceted well it looks great.
Its beautiful amazing this one looks diamond
Thank you jhun 12.

This particular design had no corner facets. I agree, corner facets look better and are a better option to have set.
if i embed that quartz gem on my accessory, i believe i can gain the 'time control' skill.
Wow, awesome sir, no wonder royals and rich crave for gemstones
Thank you...
while a cut stone is pretty and the workmanship that goes into is intense. I have allways admired the beauty of uncut stones. Also how many times have you polished your own fingers?
I like sharpening knives as a hobby with japanese waterstones. A day where i do 3+ full sharpens my fingerprints are gone haha
I have ground and polished my fingertips many times cabbing stones
You have no idea how much I polish my fingernails or I grind on my fingers until I they bleed 😭
Keep ‘em coming! Your video is a great refresher of a faceting class I took some time ago. Just picked up a used Facetron & the video will help me get faceting again with more confidence.
Once you cut a couple of gems you'll find faceting very addictive. Be prepared to make many mistakes. But the end result will be very rewarding.
Excellent, now I can enchant my weapons staff to Penetrating trait and get the additional 480 critical lighting damage per second.
Dont forget the critical damage
Best video on faceting I have ever seen
Thank you for your kind words.
thats really pretty. I just wish some of these tools didn't cost so much. There is so much creating I want to do... but it takes so much.
😔
Beautiful work. I love your videos. I could watch this all day.
Lovely. I cut my first gem this evening. Safe to say I have practice to be had.
Keep working hard at it Ian, and expect that there will be failures also. Good luck with future gem cutting. let me know how you go? Cheers
Already messed up a piece of fluorite. :) no worries! Keep up the awesome videos! I watch them for technique.
