This design came about when I was trying to write another tessellation-style design. The pavilion helps really scatter light throught the stone, in stark contrast to the large virtual facets in the acutal Tessellation design. Works in materials from quartz to peridot (RI = 1.54 - 1.65), and then gets really weird as you increase the RI. Suggested length = 6-10 mm
