But it's so hard to find material in this color and in a price range that works for me; it's something I can overlook on these. I had thought about having my cushion retouched a bit by a precision cutter, as I think if it just had a few extra facets it might help with the extinction...but I really don't know that for sure, and it's small enough as it is, lol.
Like I say, there are some things that I wish did not bother me!
Kath: shortly before you joined, there were a few threads on this extinction issue. If you did a search for "shadowing", "Half and half", and extinction you might find them. The reason I suggest it is because in one of the threads, there is a discussion of how pavilions can be cut to minimize the effect - it has to do with parity among facets, if that makes sense.
