Just wondering why we can't have a princess shape to cut stones? Princess cut is a very popular cut especially for diamonds.

it's more a matter of "just didn't add it yet" than "didn't want it added."

If I implied any lack, I didn't mean to. I just wondered. And the information would be wonderful Yaru.

Oh and hey, we've got a triangle, a square, a pentagon, a hexagon, and then it jumps to an octagon... Why not a septagon?

Plain 'diamond' can also be blue.

Ilafai stone can be brilliant red, possibly others.

Because this cut would fall under faceting and not cabochon cutting. Actually, really shouldn't have marquise in cabs, but too late heh.

I just hate the number 7 Razz Actually, I just never considered it.

So when DO we get the faceting machines and have marquise cabochons replaced with faceted marquise?

Well the machines are already there, but the system won't be out for a while. Its been moved to the back burner for the moment.

You get a waeisho stone from a velvety black xarloa rucksack with crimson stitching adorned with tiny silver bells.
A simple air drone hovers in.
mark stone with triangle
There's not enough material for you to work with.


Wondering why that says that when I just foraged the waeisho stone, didn't cut it down at all?
