by Arya Akhavan (October 2012)

This design is a total re-do of the pavilion for Tessellation 3. It's still a bit odd to establish the girdle outline, but this should take way, way less effort than the original version of the design. Plus, it'll still look damn good, with a very interesting and unique reflection pattern. Works in materials from quartz to rutile (RI = 1.54 - 2.62) with no changes, but I think it would look awesome in anything strongly dichroic, oriented to show it off.
