Lots of free crystal and gem models in various formats available here: http://www.3dlapidary.com/HTML/Collections.htm about halfway down the page is a big collection in OBJ format that I've used in Carrara a few times before in case someone doesn't want to try and model their own.
There's a listing of the IOR for lots of different gems on that same site.
I could see lots of weapons being created from images using Philemo's cutouts plugin
I just need lots of public domain redistributable images!
Carrara 8.5 Pro native render with overloaded caustics.
Genesis 2 Olympia with Fantasy Ornaments from Aeon Soul.
Not sure if it follows the rules...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_skull
here's one with (2nd) post and (first) no post (bar sig) - not an entry
I duplicated the skull three times and put them one inside t'other - used fresnel on the top one and on the inner one duplicated a whole lot of bubbles - the lights are set to only illuminate the skulls and bubbles - the mount lighting is from the caustics
took bludy ages to render - had to reduce it from the original 2000 pixels sized render as I need my computer to do other things....
post worked one has slight dof and is sharpened in oloneo hdr
so Headwax, I cannot see your render only your assemble room screenshot
Thanks Wendy that will teach me for rendering with 100 percent transparency !! :)
Here we go again! Thanks for the headsup
The two files look pretty similar

Thanks Wendy , bit of a time waster ! Love your cat texture s I saw thank you ! Cheerios from sunny new ie !

Beautiful work, @Selina, @Headwax, @3drendero, and @3DAge. I am inspired by sparklies, maybe cell shaded sparklies, like Secret of Nimh?
@Mistara, you have really inspired the community!
