so been tinkering with stands for my large emerald collection and FINALLY made a choice on just what i wanted that actually works very nicely ^^ i made a crystal stand out of wax (that you 3d program and papercraft program, helped out SO much) and put together a wax version that made mold of and then cast in resin. took while to get it free of the mold with all the different directions the crystals are pointing, but came out great. testing it out here with the large purple chaos emerald i painted. gonna make stands for all the other emeralds as well, probably in various colors as well. :3 weee happy with my hard work.
