L/W = 1.155 T/W = 0.217 T/L = 0.188 P/W = 0.419 C/W = 0.404
H/W = (P+C)/W+0.02 = 0.843 P/H = 0.497 C/H = 0.479
Vol./W^3 = 0.342

Addition # 13 - Cut in refractive indexes 1.62 to 2.14 with no changes. This is ideal for lightly saturated material and works well in about any material. This is not hard to cut and is very pretty.
