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

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? _________________ Sage. |

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

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

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. _________________ God has no place within these walls, just as facts have no place within organized religion.

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? _________________ Sage. |
