    I hadn't considered it, though now I will. I cut some synthetic
    sapphire, and with 50,000 grit diamond paste and a ceramic lap, it
    polished up just fine. On the other hand, the window is pretty tiny--
    just a little dark spot in the center of the stone. Now that you have
    me thinking about it, I'll have to look carefully at the stone to see
    whether I can tell how it could be fixed. Trouble maker! Yes,
    constant learning is food and drink, but a little knowledge is a
    dangerous thing!
