Continuing with the theme of mismatched checkerboards, I decided to stick a square checker inside a hexagon. Why? Because I'm still pissed at those influential yet hidebound European dealers. This design is written for amaranth-colored tourmaline, but works from feldspar to rutile (RI = 1.52 - 2.62) with no changes.
