    Question: is there a search function available on the forum to look for topics and or specific comments to a topic?

    In particular I would be interested to know if anybody has had issues with cracking of CZ material during faceting.

    Hans ,

    There has definitely been some CZ on the market which is not the standard we have been used to .

    How to identify a reliable source is a problem. Hopefully one of the dealers in Australia will take up the challenge to find a source of good quality CZ . Perhaps an AFG member who knows of a reliable source will put the details on this forum.

    What a great idea to have this sort of information available on the forum. Hopefully an AFG member is able to help out here.

    I no the problem many are having with Manmade stuff I personally do not use any. I would rather cut NATURAL stones.

    but to answer your question when you buy rough I place it in a bag and mark it with whom I got it from and the date, then if some thing is  found to be wrong with it you can contact that person. Their are at least 6 dealers in the Facet Talk I am sure they will be glad to help you

    Hope this helps
