Part 1: Professional Gem Cutter, Steve Moriarty, teaches you how to facet gemstones. The gem he is showing you how to cut in this video is a natural color, Blue Topaz from Brazil. In this video he gives an introduction of himself, the machine he is cutting on, and shows you how to identify and map out inclusions by using immersion fluid and a flashlight on a rough gemstone before you begin faceting.
