IMPORTANT: This is deco, not a custom gemstone mod. Unfortunately :(

For when you really need a glowing pink heart gem or an amethyst that is, you know, purple.

This is something I tried to do years ago, when I was learning to convert, BUT the file with the gem meshes comes with all of them in a single group, with a jumbled UV map, cuts only noticeable by geostates. The only way to separate them is by hand and the copious use of the letter L while selecting vertices in Blender. Since the actual gemstone shader doesn't allow recoloring, I made do with Phong, Phong Alpha and Fullbright with some creative specular work and jacked up shininess. No, it won't have the animated shine of EA cuts, but it will work in a pinch.

All cuts, from Dust to Spire, $1 to $16, in Decor > Sculptures. They're FAKE, they don't need to be expensive!

For each cut, there are three versions: solid, translucent and glowing. Pretty much self-explanatory, but there ARE differences between presets in the first two:

Solid comes with EA sparklecube as specular in the 1st preset, a plain shiny one in the 2nd (for hematite and pyrite, for example) and an opalescent, colorful one in the 3d.

Translucent comes with opalescent in the first and sparklecube in the second.

The glowing versions work all the same. They DO have a Bloom factor and glow in the dark, but my game has a No Bloom mod, so the effect does not appear in the preview pic.

Comes with a collection file, of course :)
