That’s a nice stone. Well done 🙂 definitely did the right thing by stopping previously until you were more comfortable going closer to the bar. You’ll find now you’ll go a lot closer the bar when cutting future stones. Stones like that, I just stay on a 1200-3000 and run plenty of water and just go right at it. The first sign of a directional change, I stop. It’s a very slow process but it’s well worth the effort. Always a temptation to go that little bit further as many think they can remove the slight cloud in between the different patterns but it never clears. Time to revisit some of your first stones again 🙂
I’ve done the same with with so many opals from when I was learning and then you revisit them a year down the road tweak the shape or some slightly and so much better another touch down the face cos didn’t want to lose it cos once it’s gone your done but sometimes you leave as is and sometimes you just go for it. Congrats on the nice recut win win 🔥🌈👍
