I FACETED a Spiral Cut SPHERE Out of Rainbow Clear Quartz! Faceting Fun Times with Quartz and Opal!

In this one we have some fun on the faceting machine! For starters, our buddy Kurt over at ‪@RockHoundingAdventures‬ sent us a beautiful Juniper Ridge fire opal to cut for him, so we gave it a nice flower cut and break it down step by step. Its a very simple process that yields absolutely beautiful results! I am excited to ship it back and see what he thinks! After that, we delve into the realm of madness and cut something a little unconventional; a quartz sphere! I selected a nice chunk of fractured clear quartz specifically so that we could get some of those amazing rainbow highlights and spiral cut it into a sphere! Considering it was our very first attempt at faceting a sphere, I'd say it came out absolutely beautifully! Now that we've done one, I am absolutely going to be doing some testing on my own time and we will revisit this topic with a much larger specimen! I hope you all enjoy and have a wonderful week!
