I've actually tried figuring out this process with a large hunk of melt n' pour soap and failed miserably. While I don't have pictures of my wanna-be, ruin soap gem (It looked like a wadded up of coal with iridescent mica), I do have some lovely exhibitions of what true soap gems should look like!

The question that comes to my mind is "how is it done"? The amethyst facets and the polished turquoise stones look amazingly realistic. Though the technique may forever remain a secret, you can purchase your own amethyst or turquoise soap here.
Awww! These are gorgeous. Almost hard to believe it's actually soap!
