@Anushka:

What formula did you use to get the split cut gems?

Same as should spire cut. 4 split half's and 4 other gems (like 4 egg cuts luminorius gems) and lots of luck. I mostly put desirable gem on top and desirable shape on bottom shelf, but it wasn't really successfully, I used tons of gems but got only few.  
It is not really a formula that guarantee, it's just creating biggest possible chance of getting it. I assume it would be the same no matter the order you put on display.

On this picture I put 4 vampire eye hearts and 4 tiberiums. I had 25% chance to get large spire cut tiberium, 25% to get large heart cut of vampire eye, 25%   to get large heart cut tiberium and 25%  to get large spire cut vampire eye (and I kept getting large tiberium spire cut). Same with polished split half's. This way I got egg, brilliant and marquise cuts of geode too.

Countless hours of breaking space rocks and lots of collecting by other family members. Sadly, with all that tiberium, still no spire cuts for me. I'm not shore how you can cheat to get gems. I usually get 2-3 tiberiums per session at board breaker (she can't become fatigue due to supermaxed athletic too), and has steel bladder, plus moodlet manager, so only going to work is stopping her now, but soon she'll focus on just breaking boards.

Thanks, Anushka.  I've been getting rid of my Geodes and Septarian Nodules because I just don't like them.  But now I'll start cutting them again and see if I can get the other gems in the split cut.  Same with the large spire cuts.  I'd love to have a gorgeous spire cut centerpiece for my large gems.  :)

Getting the skull cuts is a very long process. I've been at it for several sim weeks and just now am beginning to see the start of the collection. I only have six gems in the skull cut and their not even the rare ones. Its the really common ones like emerald and alabasta from egypt. The rarest I have at the moment is the jade skull cut.

I have to double that wow.  That is amazing, truly amazing.  I would imagine that took quite a long time to accomplish, well done. :)

Now that really is a WOWZA Collection Anushka!  So sorry everyone (and other moderators), but I had to scream that word out  :o.   The pictures are fantastic.  I bet you are ready to take a long nap now.

My poor Sim has been trying real hard to accomplish this and now he has something to look forward to.   I just hope he doesn't kick the bucket first.

Wowza indeed!  They look incredible.  What an amazing achievement.

Thanks everyone, I can't stop staring at them :D As soon as Carl start accepting uploads for Swap Shop, I'll sent it to him (maybe a Small park with a chest filled with these goodies?). With Leto's cloning trick there can be as many copies as you wish. Perfect decoration for casual games.
I used 2 Sims, gardener/sculptor made perfect garden (also waiting for upload, with 45 perfect omniplant seeds in a chest ;)) while other break boards and did transfiguration. Since I played in small world I'm testing for Simstar, loading time was crazy fast, so it wasn't too hard. Plus, my martial artist never got a single gnome, so sending gems to be cut was without a single loss.

Anushka, it's so beautiful!! I have been cheating to complete my own collection, and not nearly finished, hehe.  Even with cheats there still alot of time involved and fun gameplay, so now I will work harder and keep cheating because I want your collection!!!  

I'm going to make a community lot like yours too, and add my legacy's ice sculptures and paintings as well.  Thanks for the inspiration.  :)

Anushka, your collection deserves to be in the guide and is truly worth a WOW! I admire it. Here are some pics of mine (half of it). Compared to yours they are tiny, lol.  ;D



This one was from an earlier corrupted file which does no longer exist.



And this is the collection I'm currently working on, it's the first and early half of it, I will post more pictures of it soon, I just found this one only. As you can see, I have lots of Tiberiums, but I hate the 'ping' sound when it's speed 3 and my Sim is writing. Ping, ping, ping... Ugh!

*GASP*...I forgot how to breathe for a second there. Wow Anushka, that collection is just...wow. I've been working for that for what seems like ages and I'm not even halfway there. You have earned your very own special pedestal to be placed upon.  :)

Thanks Shenice! I put this collection in Swap Shop Board, and Carl put a picture and link in guide! I'm so happy about it ;D
ChronicR your collection looks great! And you can always put tiberium in a chest or deep in the basement.

Agrr... I just sold my sim's skullcut gems 3 days ago (100% from board breaking only. Except those from LN). What a shame.

Thank you very much, I'm glowing :D

I got all gems from boardbreaking, it was the quickes easiest way, and I'm glad you like it. I did the painting collection too, which was much more demanding in terms of strategy, but not as nearly pretty and attractive as this one.

Wow Anushka, that is amazing. I'm trying to get all the cuts as well, half way through. But that is amazing.
