My first scapolite, in Trioptic Blast by Andrew Brown. I was expecting a lot more trouble with this, due to cleavage planes, but it was actually a joy to cut

ooooo I like that cut… that came out great! What was the design you used? I have a largish peach morganite that’s in the form of a triangular prism, and am debating a large cut, or cutting the stone in slices and doing a matching set of trillion cuts.
Been too busy with real life to cut much right now, am hoping to start back up in a week or so.
edit: I should have read the post description about the design. 😜
It’s Trioptic Blast, from this free book: https://facetingdesigns.com/beginnerbook/ I wanted to do something very simple for a stone I’m not used to cutting, and it came out way better than it should!
