I have decided creating a pile of gemstones. Haven't decided if it's going to be polished or raw. Probably raw ones are more doable, but I'm going to try polished first.

  Hey, looks cool! You might look and play with the new features: Scatter. YouTube is down for me right now. Can't access the website but we posted on our YouTube channel a video (the latest Mixer video) where we show what it does.
  
  Best of luck!

  Such material would be perfect for some sort of treasure cave, where there are crystals around (on the ceiling / walls), and in the middle of the cave there is a whole mountain of crystals :D

  So, I'm starting the material today and I've created shapes using the Square Mask Pattern Jitter. Tried using circles but there is no jitter for circles. 
  
  This is the result so far. I dislike it a little because the jewels that are above the others are kinda mixing colors and this wouldn't happen. I'll keep trying to polish this one and see the result.

   

  
  
  

  I also wonder how I'm going to swap style, hahah.

  Great start!

   

  You seem to be using a pattern modifier for the gemstone shapes, but i'd suggest using the Worley 1 noise instead, as that one gives you something closer to the shape of crystals. From there you could probably clamp, distort and do all sort of manipulations to get just the shape you want.

  Very rough prototype of that idea but should give you some ideas about what I mean:

  

   

  Don't mind the colors, didn't have time to polish the variation, but it is indeed a bit of a challenge to blend two different crystal layers ^^'

   

  Good luck!

  Achieving a way better result now. I'm going to try to mix shapes using my first created ones and putting them over those layers with scatter. Thanks you all for the tips. :D
