Could you ask the vendor if it is possible to get one or at least the crown height for this diamond please? The crown height itself is useful information which is always needed for Asschers. Karl K is our resident Asscher expert so hold on for his opinion.

fairly bright for a flat top but fire is going to be way down:

Some people have a preference to this type of asscher with huge tables but they are not the best for many people.
The don't have the life of a small tabled high crown asscher and can look glassy in some lighting and are extremely dirt sensitive.
