88.3% Light Return
Angles for R.I. = 1.54
52 facets + 15 facets on girdle = 67
3-fold, mirror-image symmetry
96 index
L/W = 1.028 T/W = 0.303 T/L = 0.295
P/W = 0.392 C/W = 0.213
H/W = (P+C)/W+0.02 = 0.625
P/H = 0.627 C/H = 0.341
Vol./W^3 = 0.211

Addition # 1 - This design is fairly hard to cut and takes some work and attention to detail. Cut in refractive indexes 1.54 to 1.93 with no changes. Light material makes the best stone, 1-12cts.
