Which term denotes a diamond on which the table has been polished parallel to a dodecahedral plane?

• A. Two-point diamond
• B. Total depth percentage
• C. Transmission
• D. Trace elements

Answer: (A)

The term relates to how the table’s orientation aligns with the diamond’s crystal planes. When the table is polished parallel to a dodecahedral plane, the cut emphasizes two crystal points visible on the crown, which is described by the term two-point diamond. This choice specifically addresses the orientation of the table with respect to the crystal lattice. The other options describe other aspects—depth percentage is about overall depth, transmission is about light passage through the stone, and trace elements refer to impurities—none of which describe table orientation relative to a dodecahedral plane.
