Opinions on this Asscher please

This is the Asscher that has been suggested to me:

I don''t know though, the ASET shoes a lot of darkness in the centre - that''s an indication of light leakage right?
Other than that, the other stats seem to look ok

It looks like a drop style asscher, however with the centre darkness it looks a bit excessive to me. The proportions are all within desirable range, see if Karl can check this one out for you, also ask if Bob from WF could discuss the stone with you and if the centre lights up in normal viewing conditions.

Wow, I have never heard of a drop style asscher before! I am happy for decent contrast but you're right, the darkness seems on the excessive side.
Thanks Lorelei, I've emailed Chris at WF (who is dealing with my request) to provide some more info re the dark patch


pssst! Paging Karl, Asscher expert - please advise!

Agree with Lorelei. I am sure Karl will respond once he sees this. Good luck in your search!! Karl helped me pick mine out way back!!!

correct the center is a bit marginal and it can go either way.
Talk to someone looking at it and see if you can get some hand pics.
