    "I am not going to apologize for it. Sorry" Oh you sweet wonderful man! You are to kind even to say you won't say sorry for it.

    They're all gorgeous, and even though the blue is glass, it's a stunner too. I've been wanting to see what sunstone looks like faceted and it's very cool. The manufactured ruby is probably my favorite for the same reason you stated, the color is so rich. I'd love to see that garnet faceted! Please do! Your patience is amazing. Thank you for taking all that time to show us how it's done.

    I'd be thrilled if these stones or others like them turned up in your Etsy store. Especially the Pharaoh's eye. What a wonderful gift you have! It's fun to see you working on them. I really love to watch your rockhounding videos as I can no longer do it myself. Thank you so much for sharing.

    Theo, you are such a talented artist! I truly love all of these, but ironically the lab ruby and glass one are my favs, with the Moldavite as a close third.

    I love all of these, especially the ruby, so beautiful! The moldavite is also amazing, but so is the blue glass! Awesome! I could see you doing a whole channel called faceting fun, and I would watch it and love it! Thanks for sharing!

    I’m left handed, so I tend to do everything backwards first. Lol
    Stay safe and have a great weekend.
    Yeah, I’m thinking the Portuguese cut is one of my favorites.

    I couldn't have been more excited about this video...and then I had to wait to watch it until I got my post-ill'n pile of chores done, lol. "I'm not going to apologize, I'm sorry" 🤣🤣 Classic. But seriously, this is such a great view from the start to the finish and the selection of patterns and stones (and why). Great tips like the low grit tip, makes sense but I know I would have made that mistake thinking you're being thorough. The Cleopatra's (you've renamed it) Eye turned out so nice, love that cut. What are you using to dop? Love how the sunstone turned out, so stoked to play with some of those. The Moldavite is stupid gorgeous, I'd love to see that set! Thanks for the great video and now I wish I could go hop on my machine though I'm still waiting on laps and dops, Whaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!

    So, so, so beautiful! All of them are so gorgeous. That pharaohs eye in lab grown ruby is phenomenal! The way the light play is inside the stone, is so gorgeous, and makes it look like its casting fire! Its such a good choice for stone and cut! Wow! All five of them are incredible! I love the pixel cut too, but it needs to be in a clear stone but one where the light play is better. I was thinking maybe a clear corundum? Idk. Just thinking. But excellent job. You are a master of beauty with fingerprints! lol great video!

    I think it would be really awesome to bid on a piece you create on eBay or your Etsy page. I probably wouldn't win an auction, but I would bid. I'd love to have a piece like that. The pixel cut is my favorite. You should do one of these as ASMR.

    Not gonna lie I wasn't fond of the lab ruby until it was cut! I couldn't see the beauty in it but I do now. And the glass is so pretty they all are but those are the two that surprised me the most. I can't even decide a favorite they are all wonderful. Do you ever do emerald cuts?

    Old disabled house bound dusty rusty rockhound here: How much time does it take to facet each stone? How much pressure do you put in the stone when faceting??
    I never got into facetting...my Dad did. I've always been into "fetching" the stones more than "finishing" the stones. I can cab and polish but no fancy stuff. After seeing you facetting stones...makes me appreciate even more...every shimmer, glimmer, and glitter of my faceted stones! You rock dude!!!
