@Anushka:

What formula did you use to get the split cut gems?

[Anushka]

Same as should spire cut. 4 split half's and 4 other gems (like 4 egg cuts luminorius gems) and lots of luck. I mostly put desirable gem on top and desirable shape on bottom shelf, but it wasn't really successfully, I used tons of gems but got only few.  
It is not really a formula that guarantee, it's just creating biggest possible chance of getting it. I assume it would be the same no matter the order you put on display.

On this picture I put 4 vampire eye hearts and 4 tiberiums. I had 25% chance to get large spire cut tiberium, 25% to get large heart cut of vampire eye, 25%   to get large heart cut tiberium and 25%  to get large spire cut vampire eye (and I kept getting large tiberium spire cut). Same with polished split half's. This way I got egg, brilliant and marquise cuts of geode too.

Wait, you cheated to get that right      or did you spend countless hours on the board breaker? either way thats awesome!

[Anushka]

Countless hours of breaking space rocks and lots of collecting by other family members. Sadly, with all that tiberium, still no spire cuts for me. I'm not shore how you can cheat to get gems. I usually get 2-3 tiberiums per session at board breaker (she can't become fatigue due to supermaxed athletic too), and has steel bladder, plus moodlet manager, so only going to work is stopping her now, but soon she'll focus on just breaking boards.

Thanks, Anushka.  I've been getting rid of my Geodes and Septarian Nodules because I just don't like them.  But now I'll start cutting them again and see if I can get the other gems in the split cut.  Same with the large spire cuts.  I'd love to have a gorgeous spire cut centerpiece for my large gems.

Ah, then its even cooler! though I'm working on every gem skull cut! Right now I only have an emerald skull cut.

[Shenice93]

Getting the skull cuts is a very long process. I've been at it for several sim weeks and just now am beginning to see the start of the collection. I only have six gems in the skull cut and their not even the rare ones. Its the really common ones like emerald and alabasta from egypt. The rarest I have at the moment is the jade skull cut.

[Anushka]

Finally it's here, after several misfortunate attempts, I got it! All 25 gems in all 12 cuts!

WOW!  That is awesome Anushka!  This should go on the Collecting Guide! 

[RubyLovesSims]

That is so cool, Anushka!
You must have worked really hard.

[Saltypaws]

I have to double that wow.  That is amazing, truly amazing.  I would imagine that took quite a long time to accomplish, well done.

Now that really is a WOWZA Collection Anushka!  So sorry everyone (and other moderators), but I had to scream that word out  .   The pictures are fantastic.  I bet you are ready to take a long nap now.

My poor Sim has been trying real hard to accomplish this and now he has something to look forward to.   I just hope he doesn't kick the bucket first.

[Pam]

Carl must see this!  Outstanding!

[Gheez]

Wowza indeed!  They look incredible.  What an amazing achievement.

Fantastic Anushka! They look awesome - I love the way you've laid them out too, kinda colour-coding them
