Angles for R.I. = 1.71
31 facets + 12 facets on girdle = 43
3-fold, mirror-image symmetry
96 index
L/W = 1.104 T/W = 0.496 T/L = 0.449
P/W = 0.481 C/W = 0.188
H/W = (P+C)/W+0.02 = 0.689
P/H = 0.698 C/H = 0.273
Vol./W^3 = 0.211

Addition # 2 - This triangle cuts easily and makes a nice stone in about any type of material, 1/2-4cts. I like it in light colored Garnet and Sapphire. Cut in refractive indexes 1.71 to 2.14 with no changes. This design is deceptive, it is really quite nice.
