What started as another attempt to include pentagons in my "Tessellation Party!" suite failed miserably, but instead turned into an absurdly bright design with a surprising royal shitton of scintillation. It's not too hard, either. Works in materials from petalite to rutile (RI = 1.50 - 2.62) with no changes, but I prefer pink tourmaline.
