2 is at WF 4 is at gog

Ah, ok. Then I vote 4.

Ah, I knew it. See? There *is* vendor bias. Next time I''ll have to take the time to photoshop out the watermarks

Thanks for all your input, though, this has been interesting and helpful.

It''s not that, I just like 4 better. And since they can''t be compared, it gets my vote.

I have bought from WF btw.

Thanks to lurking on pricescope, I have developed an unhealthy obsession with asschers and am trying to learn as much as possible about them. Based on the pictures, I like 3. I''m a novice, so take my opinion with a grain of salt! Listen to strm, he picks pretty stones

Hi All,
Thanks again for your input. It''s time for the Showcase Showdown!

With your help, I''ve narrowed the field to three. I''m going to be seeing these in person on Friday to make the final call, but if you''d like to play along, please chime in with your favorite.

I''ve added one new contestant to the list, which I think could also be Storm-worthy...

Here''s the lineup again, with the new addition:

I. & III. scratched

II.
Depth: 69.0%
Table: 57.2%
Crown height: 15.1%
Girdle: thick
Length-Width Ratio:
1.04

IV.
Depth: 61.96%
Table: 62.65%
Crown height: 13.1%
Girdle: medium
Length-Width Ratio: 1.004

VI. ** NEW! **
Depth: 68.84%
Table: 60.86%
Crown height: 14.9%
Girdle: thick
Length-Width Ratio: 1.01

I like V1 a lot but it is a little contrasty some will love it some wont.
The area just inside the table shows dark more than some.

Glad to hear this, I almost suggested it earlier. I like the new addition a lot, but at this point, it''s up to you and your eyes. Just spends lots of time with them, really compare, in as many light situations as possible. And be sure to either put them under a desk/counter, or cup your hand around them to block the light. They should not go dead/flat, but still have a hint of life/sparkle.

And please come back and tell us which one you got!

I''m late too, but 3 was my fav. Second pic would be 4.
