    We've always loved our rough moldavite, but after seeing Justin's creation, we've become big fans of the faceted variety! What do you prefer? Would you like us to feature more gem faceting on here? Let us know!

      Would love to see high-domed Moldavite cabochons or sugarloafs, especially with quatrefoil borders, and/or any surface corrugation/grooving details. I also enjoy briolettes and hexagonal facets. Justin does amazing work. He pulls the eye in by bringing life to gems. (A close family friend from Moldau had that on the license plate of her 6 figure car.)

    Moldavite is one of my favorites, ever since I watched the episode with Rebecca and Bill featuring Moldavite. This faceted version by Justin, just blew me away! What a wonderful addition to Bill's collection. I hope he'll bring it along to share in future videos. Justin has amazing talent and insight and Bill just makes my day. Thank you for sharing with us remote viewers.

    Justin K Prim is amazing! He and his wife are the most amazing team! And that moldavite piece is awesome; to be cut and faceted into the gemstones logo was brilliant! It turned out amazing and came out of Justin's imagination! It is definitely one of a kind!

    4:03 I completely agree, that’s incredibly encouraging to hear as I also struggle with math but I’m still learning how to facet! I can make a cabochon if I take my time so I definitely know I’m capable of learning more. Can’t wait for the day where I create my first faceted gemstone! Awesome video as always💎

  • @bigguy2683

    An interesting follow up would be how Moldavite can be used as a gemstone, that is a creative setting that will protect it. It's soft, friable, and generally unsuited for use as a gemstone since it is only glass, albeit a very special glass. As a ring? Difficult. Pendant? More promising. Maybe a dangle from a nasal septum nose ring? Now that would be something else! Would fit the current market perfectly.

    cutting this gem... is a love hate thing for me... on one side, its such a rare and amazing mineral, that only has a limited amount on earth, it should be kept in specimen form only and use that way in jewelry and stuff, it would be even cooler it all the pieces that were ever recovered could be scanned, then perhaps in 100 years they can recreate the shape of comet itself...... on the other side... its such a beatiful stone and has such amazing beauty when worked... perhaps the actual and true beauty of the stone comes out when worked...

    Spectacular! I'd find away to secure and seal it in a shatter-proof glass case and attach it as an x-mas tree topper. That tree had better be anchored with no curious cats around. Chrysler Pentastar hood ornament, eat your heart out! (Even if those originals were indeed leaded crystal designed by the French red-box designer.) 👌🏻Magnifique!

    The reason for this stone was in my vision of ,meteorit broke into the atmosphere and fell near my presence, which made me search for it and found it, and that was really fun.

    You two would have shit yourself if you could have seen my moldavite collection. If I only could have know how crazy ppl went for it I would have kept it all. My buddy has a gem shop and idk how put hooked up with a local farmer from over there who was living close to the area they first found it and we were getting it $3 a gram and I’m talking cases and cases of this stuff anywhere from little broken chunks to multiple pieces in the high 40 low 50 gram pieces

    You should NOT cut and polish a Moldavite. It is a (one specific) meteorite impact glass, that's what special about it. When you cut and polish it, it's just glass.
