Tessellation 9 (B)

by Arya Akhavan (October 2012)

This is a substantial rework of the previous iteration of this design, which had nearly uncuttably small facets required to establish the crown. This design, on the other hand, is still fairly easy while using my interesting "keel and curtain" triangular concept in the pavilion. Works extraordinarily well in all materials from quartz to rutile (RI = 1.54 - 2.62), and when finished in higher RIs looks way more complicated than it actually is!
