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

This is an expansion of Tessellation 1 (O), continuing the pattern with squares and triangles. The pavilion is surprisingly easy to cut, surprisingly easy to overcut, and very "clean". This cuts a surprisingly bright stone, and is damn sexy in rutile or strontium titanate. Can be cut from feldspar to rutile (RI = 1.52 - 2.62) with no changes. Suggested size = 8-12 mm
