    Hello All, Quick question about stones that are often faceted, but
    are sometimes made into cabochons. 

    Emerald, Ruby, Sapphire, Tourmaline etc.  If you buy some rough that
    is good enough to produce a quality faceted stone, but you form it
    into a cabochon, do people assume that the material is lower
    quality, and does it sell for less? 

Thanks!
Blaine
