Selecting the appropriate rough
stone sample is incredibly tough, as in the majority of cases, you will end up with some
material that will provide no attractive color after cutting. To pick the optimal rough
material, extensive experience and expertise in gemstones are required. Indeed, to
select the right one, the colors in the rough must be positioned correctly and exhibit
excellent clarity. Needless to say, the less inclusions, the better!
This
auction option was really unusual, and we didn't want to miss out on any opportunity to
get high-quality material. Therefore, to ensure that we were selecting the appropriate
rough material, we requested the General Manager of one of our cutting companies to
accompany us to the auction. His outstanding abilities and years of experience enabled
him to select the appropriate rough stones within seconds. He was able to inform us
rather than the rough could be cut, heated, or even used for any other project.
