A: You're likely cutting against the cleavage plane. Always check crystal orientation before starting. Q: What's the best way to orient rough topaz? A: Look for the elongated crystal faces - the table should be cut perpendicular to this direction. Q: Can I heat-treat these further? A: These are already heat-treated. Further heating may cause color loss or cracking. Q: What causes the milky areas in some stones? A: Fluid inclusions or micro-fractures. These areas should be avoided or worked around. Q: Best polishing technique for topaz? A: Use cerium oxide on tin lap with light pressure and consistent speed.
