This is the second, significantly more interesting and unique version of my "Pride" design, intended for an 8- color rainbow flag made of pieces of CZ laminated together with Hxtal. This time around, it's an opposed-bar design. The pieces of CZ should be long and thin - the bars on the crown are the exact same width as the pieces of CZ. This should be an awesome, one-of-a-kind gem if the effort is taken correctly.
