Beryl, Aquamarine & Emerald Faceting Diagrams

Recommended Rough: Aquamarine, morganite, emerald, heliodor, goshenite

Pastel beryls like aquamarine and morganite live or die by light path length: if the pavilion leaks below beryl's 39.3° critical angle, pale rough loses half its face-up color saturation.

These RI 1.58 faceting designs lock total internal reflection across face-up and tilted viewing angles, intensifying color saturation in light aquamarine and morganite while delivering bright, even flash in emerald and heliodor.
