A photo of Faceting in action (a faceting grinder spinning, craftsperson working, etc.) is needed. Since we don't have a faceting section yet I put this here - if you know a member who does faceting please tag them ( micellular) Post for the project or post just to show off and have fun. Post any and all photos you can related to the subject for any reason you feel like posting a photo One photo will make the final cut and will be cropped and used as an icon on the redesigned front page of www.rocktumblinghobby.com

I suspect others may have better, but if you like any of the following (first 5 are relevant) you can crop from here (this is one image on my Flickr account) or I can upload & post a single higher res image if needed: Another is relevant but not if you're looking for a high-hardness multi-faceted 'shiny':

Wow thank you metalsmith - you got this party started with a bang. I think these two almost perfectly capture the subject - composition, angle, lighting. If you could share a higher res uncropped version with me they are strong early contenders. I love your cropping as-is but I've painted myself into a square shape dimensionally already. The last one you added is very good too - might not be quite as easily understood to be faceting tho.

Thanks Tommy, I have the full res originals; just need to go find them, but I'm pretty organised so shouldn't take long.

Click on the image then the arrow at the bottom right of the screen. You may know this already, just covering all the bases. Let me know when you've got what you need. I don't like to keep full res on Flickr.
