I decided to try faceting an x-cube! X-cubes are basically fancy glass, so the material itself has little value, but the crazy colors they throw around when faceted really make them a fun material to experiment with.

For those curious, I oriented the X on my girdle, at 96 and 48.

Here is the link to the still photo

And here's a photo of the original material

Material: x-cube (dichroic glass) Measurements: 5.990 ct, 12.47 mm x 12.41 mm Design: Heart of Nines by Robert Strickland
