Set Two: Four Piece Chiapas Set
This was an four piece chiapas set weighing in total at 182g in the rough. Each piece was in the 40-54g range. Here's what the set looked like in the rough (wet and under the sun). Click on images below to enlarge.

And here's the set after polishing (arranged in approximately the same manner).

This was also a fairly flourescent set under normal sunlight, shown below against a black background.

And just close-ups on two particular pieces below. The first is the piece that came out a nice dark cognac color.

The second is the lighter piece up top which I cut with a more complex faceting. The rough has one flat side that took some pondering to figure out how to shape.
