Need Help finding Asscher cuts for 10k budget

[txasscher]

Hello all,

I have spent the last month pouring over the vast amount of information here. I have narrowed it down to an asscher/square cut emerald. I have a 10k budget and would like the biggest bang for the buck! So for thoose of you who are great at picking asschers please post some for me to start with....I know there are quite a few posters who can spot excellent stones!

Thank you for your help. I was so lucky to find this forum

Ditto Hest''s chart, crown height of around 10% and up is what to look for.
