Okay, just asking all your opnions on girdle thickness. Is very thin to thin girdles a problem and shold worry about cracking.
The sarin reports state this for this particular diamond: girdle min 0.8% thin, max 1.3% medium, avg 1.0% thin. Should this be of concern?

Just a consumer here but I think it also depends on the crown angle as well. I have seen ideal cut diamonds posted with that girdle width.

The situation you describe should not present any problem.
