No not yet. I have some nice size ones that would look great cut. 

I've been looking for a lap machine but they are expensive.  Used $1000.00 and new $3-4,000.00 then you need all the diamond wheels and other stuff which is maybe another $1000 or so.

I ran into a person here in town that will get them cut for me at a reasonable rate, most cutters here in town charge $65 per ct.

Cool Stuff.   Do you pan for them?   Here in New Mexico I find Corundum's from time to time.

I don't know if racedaddy is still around, but if so check for a local gem and mineral association. If you pick up any more. Some like the one I belong to has equipment members can use. Or may be able to contact someone to facet them.
