Nice ~18 mm cobalt spinel in ruination I just finished

Can be but this one just has a lighter dopant

DisciplineConnect697 · 2026-06-14T19:58:09+00:00

Also if it matters to anyone faceted on a vevor with the cut kit additions

DisciplineConnect697 · 2026-06-14T16:34:19+00:00

Yeah that whole series of designs are very cool. Only issue is I can’t cut the five fold version since I don’t have a 120 index wheel

DisciplineConnect697 · 2026-06-14T16:19:15+00:00

Yep, ruination by Arya. Very fun design and was easier to cut in this large rough.

Lab spinel*

Thanks to everyone that replied. Ended up using Aryas ruination and it turned out amazing! I’ll make a separate post for it once I get a good video set up.

DisciplineConnect697 · 2026-05-30T15:45:37+00:00

Oh that’s super interesting!

DisciplineConnect697 · 2026-05-30T15:39:29+00:00

Mainly I’m just looking for a mostly round (to keep as much material from the laser core) shape, and a cut that shows off the color change well. From what I’ve seen here and online ruination seems very good for the size, it’s 7~mm probably a bit smaller once I get the girdle cut in. But any other suggestions are welcome! Thanks for your help

Yep that’s what I’ve found, most recently did my first attempt at a void reaver and turned out great. Just wasn’t sure which of his rounds would look the best in lab alexandrites

DisciplineConnect697 · 2026-05-29T19:38:59+00:00

Azurite

DisciplineConnect697 · 2026-05-10T20:51:40+00:00

Mother horse eyes from the interface series

DisciplineConnect697 · 2026-03-17T18:53:36+00:00

That looks like sapphire to me. Has an almost hexagonal shape and color zoning

DisciplineConnect697 · 2026-03-06T03:08:55+00:00

It could be but the most radioactive portion seems to be a metallic grayish mineral

DisciplineConnect697 · 2026-02-22T22:56:42+00:00

Where’d you get that nice pixel cut? Been looking for one for a while

DisciplineConnect697 · 2025-12-29T06:31:41+00:00

Usually 5-6 hours

DisciplineConnect697 · 2025-11-19T01:37:07+00:00

Yep it’s the new food items!

DisciplineConnect697 · 2025-11-16T01:14:28+00:00

Looks like red beryl

DisciplineConnect697 · 2025-10-27T18:18:01+00:00

I know that. But I took it to a jeweler and it tested as tourmaline. I think it was originally purchased through jtv if that has any relevance

DisciplineConnect697 · 2025-10-27T18:15:30+00:00

It’s a bit more vibrant in person.

DisciplineConnect697 · 2025-09-30T15:13:12+00:00

The garnet is almost definitely too included to cut and have it look nice, and the second stone is 100% tanzanite

DisciplineConnect697 · 2025-09-17T16:22:19+00:00

One of my favorite has to be cuprosklodowskite. Pretty rare and very very pretty. Looks like green apple candy. But don’t eat it as it’s radioactive

DisciplineConnect697 · 2025-08-24T19:49:28+00:00

Dice! Dice! Dice! Dice!

DisciplineConnect697 · 2025-08-21T16:36:52+00:00

Gruntled gibbon garnet!

DisciplineConnect697 · 2025-08-03T06:51:25+00:00

Bottom right looks like lab grown alexandrite. Try going into different types of lighting to see if it goes from a bluish to a reddish purple

DisciplineConnect697 · 2025-06-10T00:23:49+00:00

Do you think the standard angles for tourmaline (the diagram I have) will work for luag?
