Suite: Tessellation Party! by Arya Akhavan (October 2012)

This is an O-type pattern from this suite, meaning there is a hexagonal table surrounded with squares. Think of it, and all the rest of the designs in this suite, as being cousins to the checkerboards. The design has decent light return, and can be cut in materials from quartz to rutile (RI = 1.54 - 2.62) with no changes. Suggested size = 6-8 mm
