The regular structure of Hornet's Wing Granite is the key to this Test. A single slab makes enough identical gem-like pieces to allow others to attempt your cut. Which cuts truly require the skill of a master to duplicate?
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 TP
- Cut a Queen's Tomb Amethyst - 1 TP
- Build a Scholar's Gem Cutting Table
- Design a Challenge Cut and open it for Judging - 1 TP
- 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
Additional Information
The Test of the Bijou is the third 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.
Passing the Principle
- You need to have the Lapidary 1 technology to do 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).
- Either tear it down or open it for judging and have 7 judges solve and rate your Bijou.
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.
Passing the Test
The top two Bijous pass each week. See Test Pass History or http://julianatdeltona.com/atitd/PassedTests.aspx
