Talk:Voltolini - Sakura 80
From The Gemology Project
Sakura 80 - Marco Voltolini
This design requires a 80 index gear.
I cut it with success in quartz, tourmaline, topaz and garnet. It's quite straightforward and the resulting stone is nice; cut it in pale colors to have a good "flower" effect. Some facets can be frosted/left unpolished for a stronger effect.
It's also a good design for rose quartz.
I hope you enjoy cutting this. It's one of my favorite designs.
