Rose quartz with lavender tones from Madagascar cut by Roger Dery
Not my photos -- I screen grabbed them from a closed facebook group -- but people have to see this material!!! Click on photo to enlarge. Jason Brim is selling this stone. Not sure who took the photos.
GIA Gem Instruments immersion cell
Just for amusement, I am posting a photo of a GIA immersion cell I bought on eBay some time ago. It was pretty cheap. Another seller wanted over $767 for theirs!!!
By the way, you can get excellent results by using the bottom of a cheap plastic mini coffee cup (the little disposable ones they have in Brazil that have a capacity of about 3 sips). The thin white plastic is a great diffuser. I used to place mine over the LED light on the back of my old Nokia E63 cellphone. Oh wait! I actually still do that!
You can buy an immersion cell almost exactly like the one in the photo above from Gem Products for $30.00.
