74.4% Light Return
Angles for R.I. = 1.54
41 facets + 4 facets on girdle = 45
4-fold symmetry
96 index
L/W = 1.000 T/W = 0.393 T/L = 0.393
P/W = 0.483 C/W = 0.214
H/W = (P+C)/W+0.02 = 0.718
P/H = 0.674 C/H = 0.298
Vol./W^3 = 0.315

Addition # 1 - This design cut fairly fast, even if it looks a little mixed up at first look. Be careful when you cut the top, make sure that you cut to center point and make the meets. Cut in refractive indexes 1.54 to 1.93 with no changes. light material work well…
