Angles for R.I. = 1.72
67 facets + 12 facets on girdle = 79

L/W = 1.330 T/W = 0.639 T/L = 0.481
P/W = 0.457 C/W = 0.175
H/W = (P+C)/W+0.02 = 0.652
P/H = 0.701 C/H = 0.268
Vol./W^3 = 0.295
Addition # 3 - Cut a preform for 1.33 L/W, this is important because the P1,P3,P5 are just barely NOT cut to center point. You cut to point in P10,P11. This is not really hard to cut and is great in spinel, 1-18cts. This works in Garnets, YAG, and Sapphire.
