๐ So how do we peek inside at the interior of a faceted stone? Watch carefully when the water pours over the stones...putting them in water effectively makes the facets disappear, revealing the stones' interior features and color zones! ๐ฑ But why does this work? The answer lies in the purpose of faceting, and the way light beams travel through mediums other than air. See next post for the breakdown of this unique trick of the trade! ๐ #physics #lightbeam #refraction #angleofrefraction #refractiveindex
