resharpening sapphire/ruby stylus?

This is where record cutters raise questions about cutting, and trade wisdom and experiment results. We love Scully, Neumann, Presto, & Rek-O-Kut lathes and Wilcox-Gay Recordios (among others). We are excited by the various modern pro and semi-pro systems, too, in production and development. We use strange, extinct disc-based dictation machines. And other stuff, too.

is there anyone currently offering resharpening of sapphire/ruby stylus?
I'm super happy with the diamond resharpening from myshank, but I have a whole stock of sapphire stylus for my 6N that are wearing down and have plenty of stone left.
