90.6% Light Return
Angles for R.I. = 1.54
11 facets + 4 facets on girdle = 15
2-fold symmetry
96 index
L/W = 3.000 T/W = 2.009 T/L = 0.670 P/W = 0.450
C/W = 0.133 H/W = (P+C)/W+0.02 = 0.604 P/H = 0.746 C/H = 0.221 Vol./W^3 = 1.051

Addition # 11 - Cut this in refractive indexes 1.54 to 2.14 with no changes. This is designed for color and light shiller. The pavilion will reflect any color and shiller well. Sunstone seems to occur in long shallow layers and this is for that type of rough. The L/W is not critical.
