Two pyramids base to base. At the lowest detail it is already the faceted crystal look, so a gem needs nothing done to it afterwards.
Raise Detail and it subdivides towards a ball the way an icosahedron does, but it keeps its two pointed ends longer, which is what makes it read as cut rather than tumbled.
