Addition # 4 - This is a neat one when it flashes. I find it works well in about any material, I like it in a little bit larger size. It cut easy and fast and is designed to give a nice color flash when rocked on the long axis. It works well in Tourmaline and Topaz. Cut this in R.I. 1.54 to 1.76 without changes.
