I was really happy with my "Rice Fields" design, written to look like the Japanese character for "Rice Field", so I decided to do another one, this time for the character for "Within". And it still looks pretty good! Works in materials from quartz to rutile (RI = 1.54 - 2.62) with no changes, but I prefer Colorado topaz. Suggested size = 8-12 mm
