"Memory"
Exclusive Fire House Mug (16 oz.)
This mugs is a nice quality heavy solid ceramic "Fire House" style. It holds 16 oz. so it will work well for hot drinks like coffee or it will hold a can of soda for the summer time. I prefer large mugs so that I do not have to get up and get something to dring very often while I am cutting.
Regualr price is $8.95

Memory - Cutting Remarks
Shown at left is a 11mm x 7.9 mm deep ~ 5.98 carat "Memory" cut from flawless Nigerian Pariba colored Tourmaline by Jeff Graham.
I was asked for a design in memory of a dog named Pansy. All of us animal lovers have lost a friend at one time or another. So I thought the best title for this was just "Memory". Cut in refractive indexes 1.54 to 2.14 (92.1%) with no changes. This design is for pale to light colored materials and works best in 10mm or larger stones. Note: This is an intermediate design to cut, it can be more difficult than it looks, but is fun and quite unique. Cut the intermediate facets to center point, they will not all cut to the girdle. Just the corners cut all the way out to the points on the girdle.
Here are a few dogs that we have trained and had to give up... That is just part of the charity of training them for Guide Dogs.

Left: The cute little black Lab is named Cindy. She is/was a puppy in training for "Guide Dogs" for the blind. She is currently being evaluated to become a "Search & Rescue" dog or something else (they call it career changed).
Right: Is a gold Lab named Jill, she has graduated and was selected to be a breeder for "Guide Dogs". A breeder is the absolute best that a dog can do in the training and selection process. The dog has to be perfect in all respects to become a breeder.
Enjoy cutting your "Memory"... Drop me an email to let me know your results and what you've cut, or feel free to inquire if you have any questions or need some help regarding this design.
