Side of a cut gem (5)

I believe the answer is:

facet

'side of a cut gem' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for facet that I've seen before include "side of rock" , "(Gem) side; aspect" , "Angle" , "Side or surface, diamond or building" , "Flat surface on a cut gem" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times, The Telegraph, the King Feature Syndicate, the Irish Times (Simplex) and the USA Today.
