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).
