81.5% Light Return
Angles for R.I. = 1.54
17 facets + 6 facets on girdle = 23
2-fold symmetry
96 index
L/W = 2.000 T/W = 1.846 T/L = 0.923 P/W = 0.401
C/W = 0.191 H/W = (P+C)/W+0.02 = 0.611 P/H = 0.655 C/H = 0.312 Vol./W^3 = 0.530

Addition # 11 - Cut in refractive indexes 1.54 to 2.14 with no changes. This is harder to cut then it looks, the breaks can be tweaked for the table meets. This is for light shiller and colored rough. The L/W is not critical. Note: The pavilion facets are exact opposites and equal.
