@Doll @Bad_Banner I don’t do mystic topaz because it’s fake and ruined as soon as it comes in contact with solvents.It’s just some surface treatment they bake onto normal topaz.

I heard the same thing about rainbow quartz. I saw one with a pixelated checkerboard cut and it looked like it was in 8bit. I've wanted one ever since, even if only for a limited time.

@Doll @Bad_Banner It does weird prism shit. Costs nothing. It’s one of the hobby materials for new cutters like CRT glass and uranium glass.
