Faceting a 1.3 carat Yogo sapphire (& breaking gem cutting rules)

This isn’t your typical faceting video… I finally got my hands on a Yogo Sapphire — a rare, natural gem from Montana known for its brilliant cornflower blue color and intense clarity. The raw piece was super thin, and way too beautiful to follow the rules with. So I didn’t! Instead of cutting a standard pavilion, I left the back table raw to showcase the unique natural texture of the original crystal. It’s my first time cutting a Yogo, and I wanted to do something a little different with this one. This video walks through my full faceting process, including the design I chose, how I worked around the thinness of the stone, and why I decided to break one of the biggest “rules” in gem cutting. Let me know what you think of the final result — would you have done the same? If you’re looking for more lapidary & rockhounding content — great news. I post new videos every Friday!
