Is there a gem cutter out there who wouldn’t mind doing a very
small polishing job ? I was going through a cache of stones from my
rank beginner days and found a beautiful small faceted piece of
kyanite that I had tried to set (I think it was my very first stone),
unsuccessfully of course due to its softness, in a cab setting
because it was so flat. The fact that the setting was silver didn’t
help matters any. Anyhew - there are a few abrasions on what culet
there is on the stone and one small abrasion that was caused by a
prong. I simply would like these little defects polished out (for a
fee of course) and put it back into my permanent collection of “ain’t
this color great ?” stones. I haven’t made the acquaintance of any
cutters locally since I don’t get out much (well, there’s Henderson
the master bench jeweler up the street, but.takes him forever). If
you’re in south-central Pennsylvania (Gettysburg area) that would be
dandy, else I’ll mail 'er out anywhere. TIA.
