Ah ha! Now I see it. The 34.5 degree crown stone only has more mass since the bottom angles on the 33.0 crown stone were raised. THIS is where the mass is calculated differently...not because of the crown angles.
If everything were the same, the mass calculation would be reversed. Now I see it.
Also, IMHO, the 33 stone with the bottom angle over 41 would be a darker looking stone, and most in the trade would accept the notion that it was the ''poorer'' of the two cuts.
Did I finally get on the same page Sergey?

Such diamond is more bright than modern Tolkowsky cut.
Sergey...by what measure are you saying that this stone is more bright than a modern Tolkowsky cut?
