Its easy for other vendors to call in stones they display is why I asked.
Going to need pictures to help you.
Is the vendor able to provide them?

The first one would be the one id be interested in pictures of first because it has a very nice spread for its weight.

I''ll see if I can get pics. These spec were sent to me by my fiance. Can you have a table that is too small? He is excited about the second stone because of the table. Is the crown percentage OK on the first one?

first one:
crown height is fine 10% is my min acceptable and a lot of nice asschers have been in that range some on occasion even slightly under.
.11 mm off square, in a smaller stone that would likely be just over my cut off point but in a 6.6mm stone should be ok, need pictures to make sure its not throwing off the patterns.

second one:
small table makes for a very interesting stone with a lot of fire, I also usually means they will be on the deep side which that one is but not too deep in my book because its under 70%.
By the numbers it looks like it might be an old style asscher which is kicken but need pictures to tell you much about it.


The are pretty much at opposite ends of the asscher spectrum but both could be kicken or both could be woofers not enough info.
If they are both good ones when you get pictures it gets interesting because they will have different looks making for a hard choice. Spread vs the old time look.
