I have absolutely no idea what ridiculous mess created this design, but it involved a lot of random scaling, stretching, and mirroring in GemCAD. A totally unique design with really cool effects from the massive C2 facets. Works in materials from petalite to rutile (RI = 1.50 - 2.62) with no changes, but I prefer peridot. Suggested length = 9-15 mm
