Practical, step-by-step guidance for cutting gemstones (cabochon or faceted): assessment, orientation, dopping, grit sequence, and basic faceting angles.
Cut Gemstone is a hands-on lapidary skill that walks an agent (or human operator) through the full pre-cut assessment and cutting workflow for cabochons and faceted stones. It covers species identification and toxic-dust safety checks, how to orient rough for optimal color and yield, and the sequential grinding and faceting steps from coarse shaping through pre-polish. The skill includes concrete grit sequences for cabbing (80 → 220 → 600 → 1200 → 3000), standard angle guidance for common RIs, and checklists to verify symmetry, meets, and final dimensions.
Use this skill when you have rough gemstone material and need a stepwise plan to convert it into either a domed cabochon or a faceted gem. Trigger it before cutting to perform species/toxicity checks, to choose cab vs facet approach, to set up equipment (cabbing or faceting machine), or to validate that orientation and grit progression eliminate scratches before polish.
identify-gemstone and polish-gemstone for ID and polishing stepsThis is tool-agnostic procedural content suitable for Claude/ChatGPT-style assistants that provide operational guidance. It’s most useful to agents that can surface step-by-step instructions and link to follow-up skills (e.g., polish-gemstone).
A well-structured lapidary skill providing detailed gemstone cutting guidance for cabochon and faceted stones. No scripts included — purely informational content. Clear safety warnings about toxic dust materials, good step-by-step instructions with orientation principles and grit sequences, and useful error recovery guidance. Niche but thorough.
Pure informational skill, no executable content. Safety warnings about toxic minerals are responsibly included. Clean frontmatter and good progressive disclosure.
