Addition # 7 - This is not meant to be a large stone. I usually do not cut it larger than 2 to 3 carats. This design will help lighten up material that is just a little on the dark side. The large triangular shape on the crown reads well from a distance and is interesting. Cut in refractive indexes 1.62 to 2.20 with no changes.
