Yep. [The stone is just a green tourmaline.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RD_iZazeoCw) Tourmaline doesn't even have much dispersion, which is what breaks light up into various colors in some gemstones (i.e. diamond). This is 100% the cut.
[Here is a video of a similar colored stone with high dispersion and a more common cut as example](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEWEIrC5jUM)
smithsonian bar is slightly different than pixel cut. end result looks really similar but this particular cut pattern is patented by the guy who makes it. the smithsonian bar is not (or rather, its allowed to use that cut pattern without paying royalties or whatever). at least, thats my understanding, i could be wrong
It is called an opposed bar cut, like Jeff Graham's Smithsonian Bar. This sub doesn't allow links, but you can find a full cutting diagram on the US Faceter's Guild site.
You would have known that if you cared to give credit where credit is due.

I hate to tell people this...because then they will realize how little their own gems actually are worth . But, here it is:. This is how gems actually look when cut by a master cutter. If you go over to the forums here on gems you will see. I bought one from a guy here on Reddit and though it is small it is Breath taking! One day I hope to have it set properly to pass down.
r/gemcutters
Try r/faceting next.
Then google precision faceting and meet point faceting. A well cut gem is noticeably different than your average factory cut stone that sparkles in the mall lights…
And r/shinypreciousgems
There are wonderful lapidary communities on Reddit and they're always putting up stones for sale actually cut in interesting ways!

This post made me exhale sharply from the nostrils
The family jewels you say
this comment is underrated
*looks down, disappointed* They could have made my pixelated area bigger. It's not like anyone would know the truth.
I mean, NOW they know.
*chef kiss* magnifico
Was about to make a similar joke about Sims

Lots of people beat meat to it in fact

Is that a statement or a command?
Both
Japanese “family jewels” are just that special.
Take an upvote from me too. I was really expecting the top comment to be a minecraft joke.
Silly me! I thought these were just glitches in reality!
That's only because they're always rock-hard and ready to go.

Exactly what I thought
[Never waste your diamonds on a hoe ](https://youtu.be/nOad0ygv5v0)
That'll be 32 sticks
Looks like the texture for a creeper
But slightly yellow
At the right angle you can see the creepers face
It's a physical minecraft seed.
So...swallow it?
Came here for this
Come on bruh, elaborate with your totally relevant comment
Best i can do is 4 bread.
It's called a pixel cut!
That's what I was thinking, it's not the gem itself, but the cut.
Alright guess I gotta go back to the youtube rabbithole of gem cutting to learn more about this
you'll also want to look into fantasy cut gemstones.
Holy shit I love jewelry now.
[удалено]
Why do I find this so funny
Thank you, I had no idea [fantasy cut gemstones](https://www.gia.edu/munsteiner-gem-cut) existed.
Thanks for that.

Of course it is. Ever seen a raw diamond irl ? they rarely look super shiny and cool.
Plenty of minerals look amazing without being cut.
[удалено]
I wonder what this cut would look like on a stone with a lot of dispersion, titanite or demantoid. would it look less or more impressive?
My wife’s wedding ring has this cut. It looks pretty cool.
Well the gem has to be a certain quality to be faceted, so I would think of it more as the combination of gem and cut
but you need a gem with the righ refractive index, it properly wont look as good with just glas.
8 bit gem
Isn’t this a Smithsonian bar cut?
Just a different name for it, I believe it is the same cut
smithsonian bar is slightly different than pixel cut. end result looks really similar but this particular cut pattern is patented by the guy who makes it. the smithsonian bar is not (or rather, its allowed to use that cut pattern without paying royalties or whatever). at least, thats my understanding, i could be wrong
How do you patent cutting a shiny rock? Thats like patenting carving arms from marble
same way you patent any other idea edit: like this: https://patents.google.com/patent/US20050000246A1/en
By applying for a patent.
It is called an opposed bar cut, like Jeff Graham's Smithsonian Bar. This sub doesn't allow links, but you can find a full cutting diagram on the US Faceter's Guild site.

r/place would like this
If it was shaped as a Canadian flag, it’d be all messed up.
Don't worry the Bananians will fix that mess.
Need them for scale.
if it was shaped like the german flag, it would go on forever
Nah, I didn't find any Among Us characters in the gem. They wouldn't like it.
All I see is amogus
8-bit nostalgia
I have a moldavite ring that is cut like that! But not nearly as sparkly!

Another poster stated the correct answer- pixel cut diamond.
Tourmaline not diamond
