Nice stones. Can you give us the original picture you are referring to? So one
can compare them. I can only find a similar picture in the thread "Lucy in the
Sky with Diamonds" by st from 2003. There neither the stones nor the caustics
were colored.

What is Gaussian blur? GIMP? Why is this necessary?

Best regards,
Michael
