Hi Jens,

Nope, it doesn't mean a thing to me but I am sure it makes sense to a jeweler.

Thanks again

Right Jeff, have a look at this.
What is a Cabochon Cut Stone?
They are the type of cut rounded on the top with flat bottom
Example: Star Ruby, Opal, Star Sapphire.

Otherwise try Google and write Cabochon - you will get about 274'000 pages, so I would try it over a week end

.

Be ware of the fitting.

Good luck

Jens

Come to think of it Jeff, maybe you should take an evening course in gem cutting, then you would learn how to do it

With the NHL on strike this year I do have some spare time. However, I am not brave enough to tell my wife that I want to take up another hobby. I think I will stay with the first plan it will probably save my life.

Thanks for the suggestion.
