For some bizarre reason, I wanted to recreate the Portuguese effect in a hexagon, but witout using the typical Portuguese pavilion pattern. The effect is surprisingly similar. Try frosting P5, C2, C4, and C6 for an interesting look! Works in materials from quartz to rutile (RI = 1.54 - 2.62) with no changes, but looks best in icy topaz. Suggested size = 10-30 mm
