Angles for R.I. = 1.54
67 facets + 9 facets on girdle = 76
3-fold, mirror-image symmetry

L/W = 1.016 T/W = 0.542 T/L = 0.534
P/W = 0.430 C/W = 0.227
H/W = (P+C)/W+0.02 = 0.677
P/H = 0.635 C/H = 0.336
Vol./W^3 = 0.253

Addition # 1 - The P7 facets meet at the girdle only. It's important to cut them evenly at the correct angle. The steps on the crown can be varied if you want, adjust the C7's. Cut in refractive indexes 1.54 to 1.93 (80.2%) with no changes. This design is fairly hard to cut, 2-12cts.
