***The lapidary holds a piece of rough in his hand like he might a set of dice, and peers into it as if it were a crystal ball. Cutting is gambling. A gambler may fear the risk, but the jackpot is simply too good to resist. One thing makes cutting more seductive than any other kind of gambling: jus primae noctis, the right to be first, the thrill of anticipation. The cutter is the first and only one to touch the nature of the gem with his fingers, to see its soul with his eyes, to foretell its future with his heart, his intuition and expert vision. The process starts with preforming – grinding the rough, lapping and polishing it with an abrasive, marking the preform with ink. Then the preform is cemented onto a dop stick to move on to faceting – holding the gem against a revolving cutting lap, grinding the facets. Polishing – smoothing the facets against a polishing lap – is the final stage.*** (extract from the GEM CUTTING & PREFORMING AND POLISHING GEMSTONES chapters of the book 'Gemstones. Terra Connoisseur' by Vladyslav Yavorskyy)
