    Now that you mention it, though I don't set diamonds much  at all--
    I bought a batch of chipped diamonds to use in the "teabag" of the
    piece "Just My Cup of Tea" that I posted here about, a while back,
    and many of them were missing chunks that extended from the girdle
    to the culet in a way that mystified me. Now it makes sense! Always
    nice to have a mystery resolved.
