Wanted to give a quick update - we've done some preliminary testing with Series 30 and Series 50! One of the suites is a set of blue sapphires with varying thickness of the rind included in the final stone, and the other suite is a set of 6mm rounds cut from Series 50 to show the difference in shades.

There's also been some testing of Series 60 and different orientation of the rind, to give an almost Winza-like final effect!

Long time lurker, first time poster. I found a half boule of #59 and an experimental run of #73. Would these be of interest?

Just came across this and I have to say it's very helpful. I think the image has been removed so I can't zoom in though. Any chance you have a big picture of the boules from your first post still?

Thanks for your hard work, it's very interesting to see the history of the Verneuil stones.
