Hi folks! Super quick announcement for those of us who love weird synthetics. I've got an article coming out in the next USFG edition that goes into a fair bit of detail on the high-RI high-DI exotic synthetic gem materials, including some fun pictures and charts and science-y stuff.

Keep your eyes peeled!

Here's hoping for an illuminating article on handling some of those on the dop, any new singly refractive synthetics aside from diamond?

Oddly enough most of these things are crazily birefringent.

No surprise there, but there's only so many ways to make a cubic crystal structure.
