    I asked this question on a facetor's list and got no reponse.  So
    I'm hoping someone can help, or send me somewhere where I can find
    some info. 

    I recently cut piece of citrine that was handheld and faceted.  I do
    this quite a lot. It is asymetrical with only 5 facets on the back
    and five on the front.  But it works very well. 

    What I want to know is how would I find out why this works?  I need
    to have an analysis of the angles etc so that this could be
    reproduced.  Does anyone know anyone who does this sort of analysis
    that could direct me as to how to perform it or would do it
    themselves? I just need info to get me going.
