Rough math, $1,000 for the raw stone, $5,000 of travel and time to source... $80k sale price with 250 hours of cutting work, $300/hour for master gemcutter, seems very fair.
- IshKebab 3y agoWhere did you get 250 hours from? I don't think it took him anywhere near that long based on the times mentioned in the video. If it really did people would use CNC for this.
- IAmGraydon 3y agoYeah from the video I believe it was a few days of work.
- IAmGraydon 3y agoYou think this guy acquired a 740 carat raw stone for $1000?
