I was baking myself an ham, cheese, and olive breakfast loaf, and suddenly thought to myself, "I want a loaf- shaped design". After a long set of trial-and-error designs, I managed to get this one to work appropriately. Works in materials from quartz to rutile (RI = 1.54 - 2.62) with no changes, but I prefer it in honey topaz. Suggested length = 8-15 mm
