The art of gemstone cutting or lapidary has evolved over the years and is a comprehensive procedure involving various stages of transforming a rough uncut gemstone into a polished one. Lapidary activities such as gemstone cutting and polishing is undertaken by using abrasive substances in a progressive manner. A large majority of the gemstones are cut and polished with the usage of diamonds, the mineral at rank 10 in the Mohr's Scale of Mineral Hardness. Even diamonds are cut and polished by utilising other diamonds, owing to their composition. Various other compounds such as the oxides of aluminium, chromium, tin and cerium are also made use for the gemstone cutting and polishing process. Silicon carbide is another popular substance.
A variety of techniques are used by a lapidary in the course of their work such as sawing, grinding, sanding, lapping, polishing and drilling. Each process comes with its unique set of tools and techniques that need to be mastered to successfully complete each stage of the cutting and polishing process. Moreover, each of the abovementioned activities requires very specific technical knowledge that can be gained only through solid hardwork and years of experience.
Taking charge of these methods, gemstones are fashioned into a cornucopia of styles. It could be a simple cabochon, one of the most uncomplicated forms, a gemstone that is smooth and rounded on the top and remains for the most part, flat or slightly rounded on the bottom. This style is ideal for those gems that contain a large number of inclusions to produce a stone that is multifaceted. However, the style could even be an intarsia, where tiny amounts of various coloured gemstones are fit to each other. The top is then cut and later polished to showcase a unique, colourful pattern. On certain occasions, these gemstones can even be carved and sculpted into any form.
