Rare Cats Eye Opal

Brazilian Opal

A fine quality double cut Brazilian Opal cut by Joe Callari. I used HDR to show this stone at it's best. Six images stacked and rendered.

Hall Of Mirrors

Cubic Zirconia has a higher refractive index than even diamond. This makes for a tough shot. I kept a couple facets hot for contrast. Three polarized light sources combined with multiple exposures via HDR techniques. The result was the prismatic Hall Of Mirrors.

This shot shows how layers of precious metals are fused to make Mokume Gane or "wood grain" patterns in precious metals like gold and platinum.

60 Ct Diamond

 

A friend in the diamond trade had this magnificent 60 ct flawless heart shape diamond. This stone is certain to be famous when someone super rich buys it. I had literally only 30 minutes and a bad lighting situation. This is making the baest of a tough shot-With fire from a gold refinery I work for.
