If the stone is a crystal, such as Diamond, you tap with a punch and hammer carefully along "cleavage lines". If Amorphous, and thin, a very high pressure/speed stream of water, containing very hard abrasive particles is slowly moved across the surface, producind a beautifully cut face. If Amorphous and thick, an abrasive blade (or band) is run against the stone. This depends on the material, the abrasive, and the desired surface. Small synthetic diamonds are frequently used for their ability to cut all other stones.

What if a diamond has less than 17 facets?
The number of facets on a diamond is dictated by its size and the shape of the cut. For example, an emerald cut stone has 57 facets and a baguette cut stone has 25. The radiant cut has 70 facets. An 8/8 or single cut stone has 17 facets. When the symmetry of the facets is angularly perfect, the table of the stone delivers optimum luster for the stone.
What is the percent used in a diamond?
An uncut diamond comes in several shapes. From the KHulsey.com site: "The natural shape of the rough stone will also be a major factor in deciding how to cut the stone. An octahedron can be cut into one or two Round Brilliants but a square Princess cut will result in the least amount of waste due to the square shape of the stone. Asymmetrical crystals such as macles are used primarily for fancy cuts. Cubic shapes are ideal for a square Princess or Radiant cut." So the percentage used in the final cut may depend on the original shape of the stone.

What is cut stone?
When a stone comes out of the ground it may have different shapes, cubes, rhombic or dodecahedral. None of those shapes have the brilliance, shape or shine that you'd associate with the rings and necklaces at your local jeweler. So, rough stones are sent to a cutter who uses various tools and polishing methods to shape and smooth the stone to get the best possible aesthetics from it. When the cutter is done it has gone from being a rough to a cut stone.
