very cool i was on ebay and bought up alot of crystal balls and other things they make great patters if you put them on a slow rpm motor about .5-1rpm they are great!

Wow, cool! What type of gemstone is that ... amethyst? sapphire? When my safety glasses arrive, I'm planning on experimenting with lasers and diamond

 

[kcorbhv]

not too sure what it is but most likely its amethyst

I bought a few of the cubic zirconias off of fleabay, an 18mm round cut makes the most interesting display but a 14mm trillion cut cz looks pretty cool too.
I was going to post a thread about it but I need goggles before I take pics using a 445.
Before lecturing on safety, I was using a 1-3mW 405nm pen.
*if you are going to try this yourself (DO IT!) you NEEEEED quality goggles, the refractions/reflections off of the stone WILL MAKE BLIND SPOTS!
You have been warned

Yah, pics would be fantastic! I'll post a bunch of pics when my glasses arrive.
