Talk:Voltolini - Lucciola
From The Gemology Project
Lucciola - Marco Voltolini
This is an easy design, probably following the "minibarion" concept (like many A. Wolkonsky designs). The general outline is a little different and suits well some pieces of rough that seem to call for a shape like this.
It is easy to cut, only some attention on the small facets on the pavilion is required, and provides a nice and sparkly gem with little effort. Having a few facets it may not be very suited for extremely large gems.
