A rectangular cushion outline and a keeled pavilion were also preferred, as was a design that’s a bit unusual. With 117 facets and meetpoints lacking, this is not the simplest of designs to cut, however the design tests well in Gemray. How the design performs in closed c-axis tourmaline is yet to be determined.
