Any thoughts on this EC?

Looking at this emerald cut on Blue Nile and the optics seem different to me. Is it a higher crown than normal? Looks like there is a lot of light moving on the perimeter, but not much flickering in the middle. What do the more astute eyes out there see?https://www.bluenile.com/diamond-details/LD13100080

I really like it, but I'm not an EC expert by any means.

It does not seem to “window”, but there are many facets that are “on” and “off” at the same time. Difficult to evaluate sitting E-W. The glaring cloud inclusion is very distracting, to my eyes. It is reflected throughout the stone. In spite of it being a clear inclusion it seems to have a negative impact on the performance of the stone.
No expert, but I’m not a fan of the clarity. You would need ASET images and more video with stone sitting north-south to adequately evaluate this diamond’s performance, and determine if it is a candidate for you.
To my knowledge, Blue Nile does not provide such images. It wouldn’t hurt to inquire.

Agree with you @Emrldlvr ... There is really no facet play under the table. I think this would be a rather static and boring stone.

Agree with @Matthews1127, the inclusion is too noticeable smack dab in the middle.

Plus one. I think it will look glassy and dead.
