    Thick girdles are especially prevalent in color stones, as these are
    cut deep to improve color. Make sure to practice using your loupe 10x
    and your optivisor as to see the seat being cut for the stone. Try
    practicing with heart shape cz's as these will give you practice on
    cutting seats for a deep cut stone.
