How are Gems Cut and Polished? A citrine quartz preform . . . . . . . . . . and the finished faceted stone. T he process of cutting and polishing gems is called gemcutting or lapidary , while a person who cuts and polishes gems is called a gemcutter or a lapidary (sometimes lapidarist). G emstone material that has not been extensively cut and polished is referred to generally as rough . Rough material that has been lightly hammered to knock off brittle, fractured material is said to have been cobbed Rough corundum A ll gems are cut and polished by progressive abrasion using finer and finer grits of harder substances. Diamond, the hardest naturally occurring substance, has a Mohs hardness of 10 and is used as an abrasive to cut and polish a wide variety of materials, including diamond itself. Silicon carbide, a manmade compound of silicon and carbon with a Mohs hardness of 9.5, is also widely used for cutting softer gemstones. Other compounds, such as cerium oxide, tin oxide, chromium oxide, and aluminum oxide, are frequently used in polishing gemstones.

10. Yoruba Glass Beads By Kwesi Amanfrafo A commonly held view is that pieces of glass bottles are shaped and drilled using lapidary techniques. In fact, an oftrepeated story is of beads that have Coca-Cola marks on them http://www.beadbabe.com/archives/html/yoruba_glass_beads_by_kwesi_am.html

Yoruba Glass Beads by Kwesi Amanfrafo Contemporary glass bead making in West Africa is dominated by the Ghanaian powder glass industries. However, throughout the twentieth century and for centuries earlier, other glass bead makers in this region achieved prominence, notably the makers of "murakad" (Maure wet powder glass) and "Bida" beads (Massaga furnace wound). These two industries have both been examined somewhat extensively in the bead literature, as have the Ghanaian industries. Receiving less attention have been the various Yoruba (southwestern Nigeria) glass bead-making industries. Yoruba-made glass beads are either grouped with their Ghanaian powder glass counterparts or are practically unknown to students of beads in the West. Among the reasons Yoruba beads are so poorly understood is the chronic political dysfunction in Nigeria. Since the 1970s, Nigeria has been a dangerous and unstable country to visit, unlike Ghana, Ivory Coast, and other West African countries that have been peaceful and easily accessible most of the time. Beads of Nigerian origin found in the American market are brought by African traders or by Europeans, including Americans, who obtain them in the more accessible markets of neighboring countries. Both sources are notoriously unreliable. African traders are prone to identify bead origins by where the beads are found, while European identification is limited to conjecture, in the absence of very much documentary evidence. Furthermore, buyers in Western markets are all too eager to believe exotic stories and, thus, hard -to-dispel myths are born.
