Here's yet another design in my Tessellation series. If you don't feel like cutting absurdly shallow crown facets like C5, just cut the table to meet (C3, C4). The pavilion facets cut quickly, so be careful! Works in materials from petalite to tourmaline (RI = 1.50 - 1.62) with no changes. If you want to go higher, you'll have to scale it.
