Minimal Hex is a skeletal version of Ben Streeter's Gemstone I. It is a minimalistic puzzle in the same vein as Minimal Twist, Minimal Jumble and Minimal 7x7x7. This implementation highlights this jumbling-only geometry on a Jaap's sphere. Unlike Ben Streeter's puzzle, this version has no hidden pieces inside, so there can be no hidden bandaging.
The puzzle is a deep cut puzzle, a simple deep cut puzzle to be precise ("deep cut that can be implemented with male/female dovetails without introducing any additional bandaging").
At first, this puzzle seems to be a face turning hexagonal dipyramid but its geometry does not closely follow that axis system. Instead the axes and cutting planes meet with angles that resemble the triangular dipyramid.
