I just received a video from the vendor and wanted to get your opinions:

youtube.com/watch?v=K_yD7Dmssvw

I really like the cullet but am unsure about light performance. Is this a stud or a dud?

I can't get an ASET from this vendor but the return policy is good. Worth checking out in person?
 
That video made me feel sick , vertigo .
You need to judge the cut face up and tilt 30* to the left and right
 
OK. So I don't think it's a dud. It's a little out of square and has that gorgeous culet. It's a "Kruppy" style stone (after the famous Krupp diamond). I like it, but have a couple concerns.

That said, there is one band/step under the table that is showing a strong obstruction and the video didn't let me see how it is lighting up or not.

So... maybe another video-- something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D98GQ16xBJ4 Would be most helpful. If they can do this... it is the best tool.

But if they can get a couple good flat pics and an ASET that would work as well.

The video is vertigo inducing though...lol.
 
Ritani... I think it looks a little dark.
 
WHOA. That pic showed the other issue (and explained the creative video angles that made the stone look much better than it is).

I completely revise my opinion. Dud. Dark and has P3 angle issues. Pass. Too bad, I like the culet too.
 
Gosh that's sad! Thanks for all the help and replies!
