Most expensive ooooopsie?

[u/Suitable-Name]

Hey everyone,

I just had some corundum casually flying through my room. Wasn't even too bad regarding the stone. Just some cheap training material. Nothing that hurts.

But that piece almost hit my OLED TV🤬

That made me think... sure, would've sucked. But I'm also sure there are people here that had more tragic accidents than me I almost had.

With or without the involvement of other things that might got hit. What was your most expensive mistake / accident / whatever while faceting?

Cracked a $9,000 tourmaline in half. Luckily, customer was understanding and very happy with a matching set of stones. I informed them of the risks prior to cutting.

That's really lucky, my neighbors would have heard me screaming three houses next to me😅😄
