It's amazing what kind of interesting faceting designs you can get by taking old designs and stretching or reflecting them. This design is a derivative of my "Blue Happiness" design, randomly stretched and reflected. I prefer this in pink tourmaline, but works in materials from feldspar to rutile (RI = 1.52 - 2.62) with no changes. Suggested size = 6-12 mm
