The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.

- Even with modern techniques, the cutting and polishing of a diamond crystal always results in a dramatic loss of weight, rarely is this loss less than 50%.
- The round brilliant cut is preferred when the crystal is an octahedron, as often two stones may be cut from one such crystal.
Why it is Common
