Hummm, in this case, it really gives one a sense of how less stone is "wasted" with a cut that faces up square, like a princess or asscher, is that correct? Regardless, *sigh,* it boggles my mind to think how someone can pick up one of these stones and "see" how to cut it.

David, thanks for the photos and videos.

Huh?

COMPUTER... MACHINE... Is NOTHING sacred anymore!?!?!?!?!? What happened to the little Rumplestiltskin-like fellow I had pictured in my mind?  You know, greyed and bearded, hunched over his little wheel, toiling, spinning, and cutting rocks night and day so that the lovely CDI Princesses may enjoy their perfect, brilliant sparklies...
