I wrote this design for William Parent, specifically for a small, lighter-colored sapphire of his. It's...let's just call it unique. The reflection pattern is absolutely fascinating, somewhat reminiscent of my "Temple Ruins" design, but more glittery. Technically works in materials from quartz to rutile (RI = 1.54 - 2.62) with no changes, but I think it looks overwhelmingly better in RIs between 1.72 and 2.16. If you try it in quartz, let me know!
