Custom Map Makers

Hi guys,

My exhibition map needs about 200-300 stone/mineral/crystal models. So far I've got about 60 different models. As this is taking a LOT of time to do I thought you could help me out a bit. I was thinking about a small challenge (similar to the week end challenges). Everybody builds 1-3 stone models with about max 300 tris. The nicest ones (or all of them if they're all nice) will be used in the next release of the map. I'll either put them all in a CMM display case or scatter them around the map.
Ase models are preferred. You will of course get proper credit in the readme and probably a small note next to the stones in the display cases. I'd say we set the challenge to end in about 2 weeks but I'm in no hurry, so you basically can take as much time as you need. Extra points for really unique stones

Happy challenge everyone!

Here are a few screens of some of the models I've done so far so you know about what I'm looking for:

Thats a nice idea, do you want shaders as well?

Sure, feel free to add shaders, normal maps and bump maps, too.

I've made 1 so far but I dont really like it, I'll make more when I get home later.

Nice!
I will see what i can do

Still getting the hang of it... 4 models so far.

I've made 6 "gems" so far, quite enjoyed it - I've become a bit obsessed with the shaders now though.

The pink round one would perhaps look neat if it had a bit of transparency, no?
Or reflection perhaps
