    Bill, the points you make regarding the cut quality of colored
    stones are correct.  There is a market for almost every
    stone....somewhere. But, like a diamond, when a colored stone is cut
    properly, it will look look far better than a windowed stone, thus
    substantially increasing its value!. The gem cutters of Idar
    Oberstein have long emphasized the importance of cut proportions in
    colored stones.  For decades (perhaps centuries), they have used the
    optical properties of individual gem minerals to determine proper
    depth percentages, table percentages, crown angles, etc.  And,
    simply, that's why stones cut in Idar-Oberstein are sold at well
    deserved premiums. The stones that are cut the best will look the
    best and command the highest prices.
