I saw another faceter experimenting with frosting the edges between facets and the result was so intriguing I decided to copy the idea. It created such a cool snowflake effect in this aquamarine!

I finally have a gem that is showcased better as a still photo than a video. 🤯

Design (unfrosted) is Sparkle Six by Wayne Emery (can be found on the USFG website)
