Famous People named Munsteiner

Bernd Munsteiner is a word renowed gemcutter who cut the famous Dom Pedro Aquamarine that is housed in the Smithsonian
 This was his biggest undertaking. He studied the crystal for more than four months. He looked at it every day and made more than a dozen sketches. He never worked longer than 2 hours a day on it becasue he needed to be sharply focused.  It took 6 months to complete.
He is also know in the gem world as the  "Father of the Fantasy Cut."   He started faceting the "backsides" and "bottoms" of gemstones, referred to as "negative cuts." This style of faceting became known as "Fantasy Cuts" and a modern era of gem art was formed.
