This design came from me messing with my "Eye of Zul" design's symmetry. Notice how the outline is hexagonal, but the design itself has 3-fold triangular symmetry? It makes for a very interesting pavilion. Works in materials from beryl to rutile (RI = 1.58 - 2.62) with no changes, but I prefer it in aquamarine. Suggested size = 8-15 mm
