[QUOTE="Lefty, post: 404024, member: 2976"] The Fallen Star design is actually intended for Quartz (refractive index 1.540) but works for materials pretty much right along the r.i spectrum, from feldspar up to CZ (I haven't actually tried either of those). What I meant was that it is a very bright design and when it is cut in light coloured Quartz, the reflection is so bright that it actually tends to override the colour with the sheer amount of white brilliance and the stone has to be veiwed in relatively low light before you see much colour. Hence my desire to try it in deeper coloured amethyst. I actually have a good feeling about how it would likely perform with the really deep purple - you guys will be among the first to see it when I do :) [/QUOTE]
