Angles for R.I. = 1.76
73 facets + 16 facets on girdle = 89

L/W = 1.000 T/W = 0.498 T/L = 0.498
P/W = 0.434 C/W = 0.214

Addition # 2 - This is pretty standard, I did it because I had a lot of people ask me for a little different round in Sapphire. Any light to medium material, 1-8cts. Cut in refractive indexes 1.54 (71%) to 2.14 (89.6%) with no changes.
