 I use a Canon Powershot SX1100 or a Kodak Z650 with a polarizing filter. Imho the camera is less important than:

A Tripod

Proper lighting (natural lighting preferred)

Using "the angles" to reduce crystal reflection and glare

Use of MACRO mode

Set the watch for the photo (10:10:24)

 

And as stated before, you will need to take many shots to get some good ones. Practice practice practice!
