The Defibrillator III Design File is available for GemCad users.
I designed Defibrillator III for a for a deep red pyrope garnet. This design is pretty bright as hearts go and is a good match for medium to deep saturated materials with RIs in the spinel-garnet-corundum range.
Begin the pavilion by carefully cutting four facets on indexes 15-45-75-105 at 36.00° to equal depth to establish a centered culet point. These four center point "finder" facets get cut away as pavilion facets 1-10 are subsequently cut to meet at this center point. The simple faceting in the "head" area on Defibrillator III should be facilitating if you are into vee notching your hearts.
