DEF

Rondiste qui a une apparence givrée.

CONT

Le rondiste peut être ébruté (c'est-à-dire gris), poli (c'est-à-dire lisse comme un miroir), ou encore facetté.

OBS

En raison de l'emploi des «dops semi-automatiques» dans la taille et le polissage, il est impératif que la bande débrutée d'une pierre présente des bords impeccablement rectilignes, faute de quoi elle échappera de la pince utilisée pour la polir.
