Pines of the Janiculum

This is yet another design from a brief period when I was experimenting with checkerboards and lots of straight lines. It's got great light return and a very interesting, high-contrast reflection pattern. The pavilion is fast and easy to cut, and the crown isn't particularly difficult either. Works in materials from quartz to rutile (RI = 1.54 - 2.62) with no changes, but looks best in the 1.70 to 1.95 range.
