Is it me, or is there an error in the Herculis crossword today? 31a should be "Isabella" (first wife of Robert the Bruce) but it doesn't fit with 25d "facet" (flat surface of gemstone). Any ideas out there?

I entered the same query as I also thought there was an error with this question. Thanks for the help - could have swore its was 'facet'. Yabadoo!

I also think they have made a mistake.

Pomegranite - all cut surfaces on a jewel are facets but the big 'flat' one on the top is also known as the 'Table' - see my link above.
