5-fold, mirror-image symmetry
80 index
L/W = 1.051 T/W = 0.369 T/L = 0.351
P/W = 0.470 C/W = 0.284
H/W = (P+C)/W+0.02 = 0.774
P/H = 0.607 C/H = 0.367
Vol./W^3 = 0.274

Addition # 7 - This is great in light to medium colored Quartz with no changes. Cut this in refractive indexes 1.54 to 2.14 with no changes. This is really nice in light Beryl. C2 on the crown is just cut to center point like P1 is.
