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.

When the cutter is done it has gone from being a rough to a cut stone.
