This simple, shallow pattern is written for darker, shallow rhodolite garnets. There is a tendency to tilt-window, but this pattern will definitely lighten my crappy rou...I mean any darker garnets you may have had the misfortune to buy. Can be cut in materials from tanzanite to CZ (RI = 1.69 - 2.16) with no changes. Suggested size = 8-12 mm.
