@gemsofscience: https://store.turtleshoard.com/products/faceted-luag-fancy-singles-calibrated-rounds-squares-and-trillions-lutetium-aluminum-garnetI'm learning to facet gems and for stone 16 I decided to do a simple rupee-shaped step cut in one of my favorite materials, LuAG. This stone is available at the link in my bio, or you can go direct to TurtlesHoard.com. LuAG is an ultrafluorescent lab created garnet designed for use in high end scientific and medical equipment like PET scanners. It was designed to help detect invisible radiation like gamma rays which make it glow thanks to its hyperstrong fluorescence. As it happens UV and even visible light will also make it glow very brightly. The fluorescence is so strong that in some lighting it looks downright uncanny. Not only is it brighter and greener than any other gem, it also has a high hardness of 8.5 and excellent optical properties that make it sparkle brilliantly. It is perfect for use in all types of jewelry, and a great gift for radiologists, cyberpunk friends or anyone who loves the color green. #luag #garnet #syntheticgems #synthetic #manmade #lumogarnet #fluorescent #glowing #glow #green #loosegems #loosestone #gems #gemstones #labcreated #Science #radiology #cyberpunk #neon #dayglow #highlighter #rupee #zelda #legendofzelda #gemstones #faceting #lapidary #craft #gemcutting #gemcutter #process #processvideo

Thinking on it now Rupees are a terrible currency. Too much work per rupee to be practical lol.

I could definitely imagine the rupees looking like this and being this size since they'd have to be small to be carried in large quantities
