This is a rebuild of a slightly different older version that was much more difficult to cut. This particular version should be easy and very straightforward, while also performing extremely well. Right around the 1.70 RI range, some very interesting effects appear! Works in materials from quartz to rutile (RI = 1.54 to 2.62) with no changes. P3 is technically optional but helps establish the girdle outline a bit better.
