D'oh that's what I forgot to do!

OMG A BarbieQ25 tut! I've always wondered how you made your gems, time to take a crack at this meself! Edit: Here's my attempt: http://fc02.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2010/343/e/3/jewelery_tutorial_outcome_by_kristopherc-d34k7dl.png

Try Ed Harvey's Color Tint?

Here's my attempt. I kinda went overboard on the "Add a little chaos to it" but it turned out nice. I also tweaked the end results a little bit. And I think this tutorial would make a neat (Un-cut) gem with a few adjustments. Edit: Here are those "adjustments" (Really just Brightness around minimum, contrast around maximum, and a few sharpens, and of course different color tint); Ruby This one is with sharpen +, Emerald this one is with plain sharpen.
