As a longtime academic I have never flipped faster from "it's my book" (uuugh) to "there are no diagrams in the other one, mine has diagrams" (OOOOOH!) xD

That is absolutely AMAZING!!!!!

I actually don't see any noticeable difference. The graphs are so close it's fair to say they are the same IMO.

Hey! I'm curious about what you think about cutting glass to start with? I have been doing some lampworking and have been considering investing in equipment to facet my glassworks. Do you have any experience cutting Soda-lime or Boro glasses?

I’m working on the solutions. My SOM should be delivered this week. I’ll mainly be addressing the dop indexing and divisions first.

Losing your mind is a stroke of genius😊

I can see the difference..but I think that 99,99% can't tell what's "wrong or right" When you look at what stones most of the gold/silversmiths buy for their creations 😵‍💫...A perfect cut stone will be a lot better even if the angles can be a bit off the perfect angles.

Great Video!

Jura? I enjoy a scotch whiskey by the same name.

So, in other words these "gemstones" were part of a costume jewelry trade, that used colored glass instead of real gemstones, which would have put their cost into a level that only more affluent people could afford. Cool, I have to say that the Bag of Sapphires you first opened made my heart up in my throat, because the color was fairly accurate, well, on some of them anyways. The machine is of much more interest for mee, so cool that you were able to buy it, now you need to return the entire setup back to working order! Back then, machines were meant and built to last generations, so they were built to last, to as high a level as they could achieve. Much like my Grand Mother's Singer Sewing machine that my Grand Father bought for her back before the great depression, and that machine was NOT new, it was second hand. so it was actually older than the 1920s, but for the life of me I cannot remember the actual date on the manufacturing stamp, which I looked at I know not how oft.

Beautiful video think im going to have to save up some money and get started in this ancient craft

Would you mind telling us how much you paid for this find?

whats the poing of cutting a stone fast it should be the oposit to enjoy cutting going slow

And I always thought a lapidary was a cow farm in Finland

The Jura was a center for Anarchism in the late 1800's. The home workers were organised , and politically active.Prince Peter Kropatkin spent time there to study the Cooperatives when he was exiled from Russia. Maybe this will shed a little light on some of the paper work. Womens clothing was hand made and often covered in hand cut glass work. It was not considered fake it was saleable to milliners, and dressmakers. Intersting find historically ....thanks

I wanted to thank you for posting this, I have recently gotten into lapidary and faceting and I have some friends who always want to eat the stones I send pictures of, was quick to send this to them XD

ga g gah wh whAT? aaaaaAAHHHHHRGGGS (please note. no swearing here) AAAAAAAHHHH OUCH

Could any of them be synthetic sapphire? If so, then they could be for the watch and clock industry back then. Someone needed to make the "jewels" in pocket watches and clocks.

nice one although 1881 is a bit of a misnommer if i may say so. the blue saffire at 3;21 looks a lot like synthetic saffire, vernuille?

Nice old scammers selling fake jewelry 👌 to the POORE

How else am I gonna absorb the gemstone's powers?

You are talented with a sense of humor 😅

42% yield

😂

Possible costume industry uses?

The round clear ones, could they be pools of light?

. . 💎 Beautiful old glass, I love it even still . . 🍀 Good Luck on your adventures going back in to time 🕰a renaissance ✨ and an age 💭

Perhaps the glass beads were shipped in this fashion so that the lapidaries could melt them easier to pour into molds or fashion easier in larger sizes.

Fakes all

The handwriting on the invoices are very elegant. Shows how people back then had very nice skillful handwriting skills.

Be interested in buying some of the stones if interested

Sir any gem cutting vacancy in your country????pls let me know

I love this shape.

Johnny Tew smokes them. 24 minutes both sides. In the Franklin Faceters Frolic 2 videos on my channel. 3 parts because I posted it when UA-cam only allowed 10 minute segments. One of the biggies was trust your tools. The ergonomics of the Gem Master 2. He talks about the tricks. ua-cam.com/video/YiR7Y_nNI9E/v-deo.html

Very Cool selection of goodies. Justin - I have a feeling that the Hammer is used to Loosen (and/or tighten) the Horizontal Cast Iron Arm that supports the top of the Cutting Wheel Spindle. It seems a bit much for setting Diamond into a lap, especially when there was, what appears to be about a 3/4" Wheel on the end of a handle which would work the same as how you use a Bearing. Just some ideas to see what you think ?

Wonder if those postage stamps are of value. Historical non the less but still glass.

Very interesting find. I wonder if some are natural gemstones.

Thanks

I'm totally fastenated with jet. I absolutly love it. Thank you again!❤

Good job, how name diagram this is gem? Thx 👍 how to make a mirror image of a stone, for example index +14, how to make a minus to get a mirror edge?) or is it difficult, do you need a trial method?

Very honest indeed, wax dopping is the for true artist, ps do you have the wright recept for to make good dopwax as well ?

👏🎉

I see the 6" Mahogany Lap made it onto your studio shopping list! If I'm only going for flat facets, should I bother? And why the 6"? Is 6" enough for two zones?

Superb 👌🏻😊

Justin you know were the best gems in the World... Plaes help this business 🙏

We will support u

Brilliant job 🙏👍🤩
