"The lady" worlds largest faceted natural gem

[James]

Hi Brent,
I believe “the Lady” was a 44,472 ct Citrine cut by the Dare-Devil Faceters.

“The Dare-Devil Faceters of the Intermountain Faceter’s Guild have
used copper laps to preform all their “BIG” stones such as The Lady at
44,472 carats, Miss l Lemon Drop at 22,951 carats, Sun Princess at
14,812 carats, the Countess at 12,678 carats as well as others.”

hope this helps
Jim

I doubt that they would have sawn up the finished stone unless it was dropped and broken. More likely it’s a piece that was sawn off during pre-forming. Just a guess…

Thanks James, that was one huge gemstone. Hopefully its still intact somewhere.

I don’t remember who all was involved in the Daredevil Faceters, but I know Billy Bob Riley is still around and is on Facebook. He might know what happened to this stone.
BTW, the Daredevil machine is now owned by Mark Oros of Hashnu Stones and Gems. Or one of them – I don’t know whether they built more than one.

It’s intriguing that “The Lady” gemstone faceted by the Intermountain Faceters Guild has sparked curiosity. The fate of such a unique piece after the guild dissolved in 2009 raises questions about its preservation or potential alteration. Have you considered playing the game Volleyball Legends?

geometry dash lite is an exciting and rhythmic platformer that combines simple controls, catchy music, and challenging gameplay. It may be lightweight in content compared to the full game, but it delivers a heavy dose of fun that keeps players coming back for more.

Hey, ich war nach einem stressigen Tag echt platt und ein Freund hat mir den spinmama bonus empfohlen, weil Spieler aus Deutschland dort wohl gute Extras bekommen. Ich habe es ausprobiert, aber am Anfang lief es gar nicht gut und ich hatte mehrere Verluste. Dann habe ich etwas mehr riskiert und plötzlich einen größeren Gewinn erzielt, der alles ausgeglichen hat. Seitdem nutze ich solche Angebote immer wieder zum Abschalten.

I do, in fact, know what happened to it!!! It’s currently sitting in the geology exhibit at the Ogden Dinosaur Park in Ogden, UT. I am actually trying to figure out if anyone else knows anything about the rest of its creation process, and I’d love to see those fragments you have sometime.
