L/W = 1.250 T/W = 0.782 T/L = 0.626
P/W = 0.597 C/W = 0.164
H/W = (P+C)/W+0.02 = 0.781
P/H = 0.765 C/H = 0.210
Vol./W^3 = 0.393

Addition # 5 - NOTE:P1 and all of the girdle facets will meet EXCEPT at the corners. This is not all that easy to cut, be sure your L/W is correct. This is 75.7% in Quartz, and works well in Zircon (88.1%).
