Hi Kevin,

    I have successfully cut cylinders in that size range from all sorts
    of materials, including corundum and opal. I used my faceting
    equipmwnt, with the stone attached to a standard brass dop with
    super glue. My preferred brand is Loctite Professional Grade, from
    Lowe's or Home Depot or wherever. 

    The whole process is very simple, but use caution in applying
    pressure only to the stone, not the dop, as the glued contact area
    is small. 

Wayne
