I was watching some of Bob Ross's painting show on YouTube, and it started to rub off on me. So when I was writing up this design, and noticed it looks like a flower...well, that's where the name comes from. Works in materials from orthoclase to rutile (RI = 1.52 - 2.62) with no changes, but I prefer it in labradorite. Suggested size = 8-12 mm
