    I would imagine that you would probably only use water for sawing
    gemstone material. That is what use here in Brasil - in copious
    quantities.

    You should probably subscribe to one or more of the several
    facetting and lapidary discussion lists: 

    1) United States Faceters Guild. http://www.usfacetersguild.org/ To
    subscribe: usfgfaceterslist-subscribe AT yahoogroups.com a pretty
    technical discusion group. Many experts on this one 

    2) LAPIDARY ARTS and FACETERS DIGEST Published about once a week,
    except holidays from Spur,Texas POST TO EITHER LINK BELOW:
    lapidary AT caprock-spur.com faceters AT caprock-spur.com 

    3) "Ahlstedt's Professional Faceting" digest Despite it's name, it is
    more oriented to helping new facetters To interact with the list
    website - simply go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PaulAhlstedt/
