Creation of the EightStar
To market perfectly cut diamonds would mean first finding them. This became a new - and ultimately difficult - project for Mr. Tamura.
His search was a series of constant disappointments: each day diamond after diamond did not exhibit the hoped-for qualities when placed in the Firescope. Instead, the scope mercilessly showed every detour from the correct path of light.
This search eventually led Mr. Tamura through the diamond centers in America and Europe. He still did not discover great quantities of diamonds without light leakage, but he did find a few small stones that performed perfectly under the Firescope. These stones all showed a unique eight-rayed pattern.
