Vol./W^3 = 0.256Addition # 4 - The corners on this are totally floating and can be cut to whatever size you need to optimize your rough with-out affecting the crown. This works well in medium to darker material, I use it for earrings, 1/2-6cts. This works in Tourmaline and Topaz. Cut this in R.I. 1.54 to 1.76 (89.9%) without changes.
