I dont think so flint..would prolly sell this 18ct as it is in rough..I've got a few more of 25ct sizes which I may get it faceted in bangkok...need a specialist cutter to get best results..

Meher,

great stone .

what is the usual practice of better quality cutters for this kind of stone , do you have to leave the stone with them or would they cut it in your presence. good luck with the venture.
