CROWN

Addition # 11 - Cut in refractive indexes 1.54 to 2.14 with no changes. This is designed for clear or pale colors. It works well in about any lightly saturated material. I like it in Aquamarine. Note: The girdle can be cut in first and the P1 cut to meet so that center point is not needed and it saves rough.
