I've been experimenting with barions, as well as designs with an X-fold outline that actually use Y-fold symmetry on the crown. This was an oddly pleasant, very "Eye of Sauron"-ish design, but I can't claim that name under fair use. Works in materials from quartz to rutile (RI = 1.54 - 2.62), but I prefer it in pyrope garnet. Suggested size = 6-12 mm
