I was trying to create an 8x8 checkerboard crown, but got incredibly frustrated. This was the 5th attempt, after which I decided to just screw it. I should be cutting an aquamarine right now, too... This looks best in blue zircon, but works in materials from quartz to rutile (RI = 1.54 - 2.62) with no changes.
