Heart of the Mountain

I've committed myself in my design book Volume 6 to cut an Arkenstone as I used a quote from the Hobbit, so better get stuck in. Just dopped a big lump of cz with super glue. Next I'll be added a heap of dextone so it has no chance of coming off.
Atm the design subject to change has 1020 facets and will be greater than 40mm diameterMight take awhile

Gezze peeps, 1020 facets what would that take you? (Three weeks effort)?

[JBK]

I will be following your progress 😊. Mountain is the right name - it’s massive

[Faceting Frank]

1020 facets! Wow that's a lot and a lot of time cutting it as well.

Will be following.

  Off to a good start roughing in. Girdle diameter is 42.3mm atm. I'll have a another go tomorrow.

[JBK]

Wow, amazing 😊

[MakkyBrown]

120 down only 900 to go    Girdle + P1.

[MakkyBrown]

Gee I hope it is not too big for my transfer jig. Just under 42mm diameter.

Had to recut the first pav tier as I have changed the design a bit. Covid slows things down a bit, about to get back into it for a tier or two back to it.
