Angles for R.I. = 1.54
11 facets + 4 facets on girdle = 15
2-fold symmetry
96 index
L/W = 3.000 T/W = 2.833 T/L = 0.944 P/W = 0.450
C/W = 0.206 H/W = (P+C)/W+0.02 = 0.676 P/H = 0.665 C/H = 0.305 Vol./W^3 = 1.271

Addition # 11 - Cut in refractive indexes 1.54 to 2.14 with no changes. This is designed for color/shiller and as the name implies, it's basically for flash. Orientate the flash so it shows in the table. L/W is not critical.
