Gemstone Soaps! (1st attempt)

[Koshka]

I had to cut them up randomly, I wont be able to make it in a single mold, because I have to cut, pour M&P over existing layers, recut again multiple times.

These are beautiful, how did you get the shapes? Did you use a mold or just random cuts when you cut up the soap???? What about June - my original stone is Alexandrite a pretty pinky purpley color. You can't find (or if you do) afford the stone anymore since it is SO rare
