Just like an RB has 8 mains, some (most) marquise have 8 mains (there are also 6 main and 4 main marquise).What does that terminology mean? 8 main?
There are 2 different types of 8 main faceting patterns in marquise. The first one below is the most common type.
8 mains split at the center can cause the dark bow-tie effect...
Here is the faceting pattern for an 8 main going straight through the center. You dont get the bow-tie effect however, if the arrows
are too wide and stay dark for too long they may cause dark arrows through the center (but not in a bow-tie shape). This facetin
pattern is not as common.
