The material library of the transparent and semi-transparent minerals used in jewelry design for creating gemstones.
The library was made with 3ds Max 2011 and V-Ray 2.40.
We provided physically correct values of Fresnel IOR and Dispersion/Abbe properties.
We made a great job to reproduce the majority of existing color variations as close to real-life look as possible.
We examined hundreds of real gemstones studio photographs to accurately reproduce color tones of gems.
We made hundreds of test renders to tune each gemstone material to real-life look.

- 138 high-quality materials of gemstones
- 67 unique minerals with a number of real-world color variations
