This design was written to mimic blossoms of the white trillium, Ontario's provinicial flower and the symbol of the Ontario government. The design itself performs extremely well, with a crown and reflection pattern highly reminiscent of the flower. You can leave some facets frosted to give it more of a "floral" effect! Works in materials from quartz to rutile (RI = 1.54 - 2.62) with no changes, but I prefer it in white topaz or CZ.
