Originally, I just wanted to write a design where the crown was a 2x2 checkerboard apex. Unfortunately, that crown looks like crap, so after a few tweaks I came up with this simple design, with mind-bending reflections! Works in materials from petalite to GGG (RI = 1.50 - 2.03) with no changes, but I prefer orange corundum. Suggested size = 5-12 mm
