As someone who's lived in Phoenix for a good chunk of time, I'm not used to winter anymore. So here in Minnesota, where October weather is already colder than the middle of winter in Phoenix, I'm freezing. Then again, now's the best time to bust out the tea. Can be cut in materials from quartz to rutile (RI = 1.54 - 2.62) with no changes, but looks the best in blue zircon.
