Culet size

[barryallen]

The diamond that I''m interested at has
Pointed culet (based on AGS report).

But the sarin report says that it has 0.9% culet Very Small.

Is 0.9% culet is considered as pointed?
What is the percentage range of pointed culets?

Do you think the 0.9% culet will cause light leakage?

Thank you guys

That''s pretty small. You won''t see a thing in person and I doubt it''ll have any effect in terms of light return.

So what is the percentage range of pointed culet?
