    If you can see through the stone maybe the cut is not right. I
    thought light was to enter the top, bounce around, and return through
    the top. Hence the reason for the facetting. Poorly facetted stones
    allow vision through it. Try a test. Put a stone on a magazine - you
    oughtn't to be able to read the text through the stone. 

    If so, chill out and read the rest of the magazine  ... ;) 

Cheers
