After a hobbyist has learned the basics, he's ready for more advanced techniques. So, this informative booklet has instructions for cutting special shapes - hearts, crosses, teardrops, etc. There are many interesting effects that can be produced by combining two or more gem materials; that, too, is covered. And there is data on cutting the exotics - cat's-eyes and star stones, opal and jade.
