Gem Reference

RI and dispersion for common materials match Gem Cut Studio, plus a few requested synthetics (YAG, GGG, GAGG). Birefringence, SG, hardness, optic character, crystal system, and pleochroism are from standard gemological references; individual stones vary by origin and treatment. Critical angle is computed from RI. Click a column to sort. Verify for critical work.

Lap Progressions

Your own reference for what lap/grit comes next, by material. Not a decreed "official" progression, just whatever you (or your team) document here so everyone can check the same source. Steps reuse the Stages and Grit/lap options from Settings. Export the library to share your shop's standard with others; import to adopt someone else's.

Stages

The steps of your cutting process. Give a stage grit / lap options and they'll appear as a dropdown when you track that stage.

Backup & Data

Linking a backup file (Chrome or Edge on desktop) auto-saves every change to a real file on your computer — your data then survives clearing your browser. On other browsers, use Export regularly.

Recent snapshots

Automatic in-browser restore points (last 8 changes). Recover from an accidental edit or erase.

Danger zone

Account & Sync (early beta)

Optional for now. Creating an account is the first step toward syncing your data across devices. Your local backup file above keeps working independently either way.
