What I have read from others, they scale up .03% .60 is huge. Your taking a 1mm stone and making it a 1.5

the Emerald shrinks horribly. It is up to nothing with the cherry though.

I know from experience that green does shrink quite a bit. Anyone knows if B9 yellow shrinks less or more than B9 Emerald?

With emerald i have to do shrinkage of 1.20 (rhino gold) for the stones to fit
