  This ruby was hiding some very interesting surprises inside! Would you have cut it or kept it as a rough specimen?<br><br>If you’d like, leave a comment &amp; let me know what should I cut for the channel next :)

  I&apos;m glad you saw the process through, I think it turned out lovely! I don&apos;t mind the crunchiness, I think its got character. Great to see the propst farms stones reaching their full potential of beauty. I feel like those two ovals in the center of your lineup are begging to be cut next.

  I&apos;m so glad this channel came up on my recommendations. I had no idea I was interested in gem cutting. This is a pleasantly surprising rabbit hole to go down.

  This is super cool. I love that you found it, cut it and did it just because you like it. I just recently got into gems, have several opaque rubies. I like the natural and weird inclusions, so definitely glad to see this.
