Sorry if this one is off topic too much. If it is tell me to get lost.
Has any one any experience in putitng small holes through quartz? I've a 
daughter rather hoping I can drill through a piece of ametrine nearly 1cm 
thick so she can have a pendant. I'm thinking in terms of emigrating but if 
that doesn't work then diamond drills to be bought at Donington and lots of 
spit as lubricant but thoughts welcome.
