Test of the Bijou

The Test of the Bijou
(Test - Art and Music)
Prerequisites
Lapidary 1/1

Test Description

Build a Scholar's Gem Cutting Table. Included in the costs is a piece of Hornet's Wing Granite, a stone with a most unusual property: Each slab is of a repeating crystalline structure, meaning that a single slab produces many copies of the same raw gem-like piece. Challenge others to duplicate your design.

Task

Complete the Test of the Bijou by designing a cut gem that others find appropriately challenging. Each person attempting your puzzle will start with the same raw gem that you did.

• Cut a Queen's Tomb Turquoise (1 Talent Point) ✓
• Cut a Queen's Tomb Amethyst (1 Talent Point) ?
• Build a Scholar's Gem Cutting Table
• Design a Challenge Cut and open it for Judging (1 Talent Point) ?
• Tear down your Scholar's Gem Cutting Table, OR do the following:
  • Have 7 Judges solve and rate your Bijou
  • Design rated Good by most judges
• All of the above, OR solve three recent winning Bijou
• Have your design recognized as the greatest in Egypt

Additional Information

The Test of the Bijou is a test available in the discipline of Art. The Test challenges players to create a unique gem cut which other players must duplicate. Once a cut has been set as the "challenge gem", players may attempt the cut again and again, using the same flaws as the original gem. This makes a Student Gemcutting Table an excellent way to practice gem cuts without using cuttable gems.

• You need to have the Lapidary 1 technology and experience bar filled to level 1 to sign up for this test.
• Build a Scholar's Gem Cutting Table. Once the table is built, design a unique gem cut (no actual cuttable gems are required, as the gem is in theory carved from the Hornet's Wing Granite).

Notes on Bijou Table Ownership

Scholar's Gem Cutting Table belongs to the person that built it. They cannot be transferred. They do not have any ownership menu other than Public/Private. Public allows anyone to change your design. Make the table Private so your design is protected.

The only way to give a table to another is to salvage the table and rebuild.
