I like checkerboards. I REALLY like checkerboards. So is anyone surprised by the fact that I took a triangular checkerboard and extended the hell out of it into a dome? No. This design is great for pale rough of all kinds. Works in materials from feldspar to rutile (RI = 1.52 - 2.62) with no changes, but I prefer rose quartz. Suggested size = 10-20 mm
