    I'm trying to learn how to photograph gemstones. I welcome any help you can offer.

    It's challenging. I find I get better photos with indirect sunlight. A macro lens helps too.

    Stunning stones

    You might also want to look at a ringlight flash, or a light box. Neutral backgrounds using cloth or paper would help, as well.

    Happy WW!

    I use crystals in healing and am very fond of tourmaline. I have several pieces of raw tourmaline in different colours but of course they look completely different when they are cut! Thanks for sharing!

    You can almost feel the color in tourmaline.
