This is my first tutorial, so please bear with me.

For this tutorial you will need Color Aberation and Shape 3D.

1. Create a new canvas 800 by 600.

2. Render clouds with a scale of 530 and a roughness of .58. (Effects>Render>Clouds...)
3 Now use Color Aberation with these settings; (Effects>Color>Color Aberation...)

4.Resize the canvas to 700 by 525 (Ctrl+Shift+R)(Image>Canvas Size...).

It should look similar to this (But about 3 times bigger);

5.Apply Shape3D to the image like this; (Effects>Render>Shape3D...)
(Don't forget to turn off lighting)(And probably turn on Anti-Alias at about 3.)

You can edit posts. It's easy. :-)

 

The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior... A nameless, terrible thing, soaked in the blood of a billion galaxies. The most feared being in all the cosmos. And nothing could stop it, or hold it, or reason with it. One day it would just drop out of the sky and tear down your world.
Amy: But how did it end up in there?
The Doctor: You know fairy tales. A good wizard tricked it.
River Song: I hate good wizards in fairy tales; they always turn out to be him.

@david.atwell Sorry, I didn't notice the Edit button down the bottom.

P.S.Thanks Welshblue, I will use Anti-Aliasing next time.

Here be mine, used in conjunction with BarbieQ's Jewel tutorial. Tweaked with the opal's contrast to get "deeper" colours. Lighting's simple, inspired by minners71's creation.

Here's my attempt. The opal tutorial is awesome. This is my first attempt at framing an object. I guessed at what minners71 did to get a silver frame around the opal. I went with a dadaist [if i may be so bold hehe] impression but I think the frame misses just a tad in the depth perception. minners71, any chance of getting a tut on making frames?

I based my piece on this tut but I didn't like the results so I kinda went my own way with it.

This looks more like an opal to me, specifically a black opal.
