Another fundamental variation of the SRB 'unstacks' the pavilion and crown main facets, which are cut on the same indexes and 'stacked' in the classic version. This variation has no doubt been accidentally executed more than a few times by faceters who intended to cut the stacked version and somehow got off a cog when they aligned after transferring the stone.

The SRB with Unstacked Mains Design File is available for GemCad users.
