Kokiri's Emerald

by Arya Akhavan (October 2012)

This simple, yet brilliant octagon is the last in a suite of gems from the classic Zelda game. The crown uses 4- fold radial symmetry to help break up some of the extinction pattern, and creates an interesting spiral star in the reflection pattern. Can be cut in materials from feldspar to rutile (RI = 1.52 - 2.62) with no changes. Suggested size = 5-10 mm
