For me, the beauty of a crushed ice stone is its glitter-like effect. The best of the best show teeny, tiny specks and flashes of prismatic fire and white light as you move the stone... positively fairy-like and like nothing else I've ever seen (um... except glitter). Twinkle, twinkle...

Also, I own an obviously "bow tied" oval that faces-up huge for its weight. I love the diamond. After all rules ARE made to be broken.
