Angles for R.I. = 1.54
27 facets + 6 facets on girdle = 33
2-fold, mirror-image symmetry
96 index
L/W = 2.012 T/W = 0.576 T/L = 0.287 P/W = 0.456
C/W = 0.242 H/W = (P+C)/W+0.02 = 0.718 P/H = 0.635 C/H = 0.337 Vol./W^3 = 0.566

Addition # 11 - Cut in refractive indexes 1.54 to 2.14 with no changes. Note: Cut the L/W and then just cut the P3(G) until they point. This works well in colored material and watermelon. The points can be fragile so care must be taken.
