Angles for R.I. = 1.54
58 facets + 6 facets on girdle = 64
3-fold, mirror-image symmetry
96 index
L/W = 1.036 T/W = 0.509 T/L = 0.492
P/W = 0.420 C/W = 0.194
H/W = (P+C)/W+0.02 = 0.633
P/H = 0.663 C/H = 0.306
Vol./W^3 = 0.204

Addition # 7 - This is brighter than the ray trace might lead you believe. Cut it in lightly saturated material, notice that it’s deep. This is similar to my original "Light house" cut, only in a trillion shape, of course. Cut this in refractive indexes 1.54 to 1.93 (86%) with no changes.
