[QUOTE="Mr Magoo, post: 344655, member: 3008"] There you go. The optimized version changes the pavilion mains to 43.28 and the crown to 43.88, 31.89 and 19.13. So very close to what you had. I agree with your findings about lowering the crown angle and that is the direction GemRay tends to go. But as you found out you can have a winking stone if it's overdone. I had a Topaz with the same result, Okayish finish but in one spot an un-photographic bright flash. Head shadow can also cause problems too if it's lowered to much. So it's a case of trying to get the right balance I ran the optimized version of what you cut through GemRay and it did come up looking good. GemRay is handy for a few things apart from designing your own cut. It also gives you an idea how the cut is done and how it effects it and also recreating a design someone else has made but haven't released the details....... Piracy in the faceting world. ]:D [/QUOTE]
