Othoclase is difficult to find clean and in good sizes. It has eight (8) cleavage planes (ortho) and can sometimes be a challenge to cut and polish. Generally this material is not too bad to saw and cut as long as there is low vibration during sawing and fine laps are used. This does cut a very pretty stone.
