Angles for R.I. = 1.62
61 facets + 8 facets on girdle = 69
2-fold, mirror-image symmetry
96 index
L/W = 1.175 T/W = 0.634 T/L = 0.540
P/W = 0.480 C/W = 0.192
H/W = (P+C)/W+0.02 = 0.692
P/H = 0.694 C/H = 0.277
Vol./W^3 = 0.272

Addition # 5 - Cut in R.I. 1.62 through 1.76 with no changes… This is fast to cut and makes an unusual stone. I like it in almost any material.
