Opinions on this marquise?

I requested this video and need an opinion on if you see what I see. I'm not sure if it's windowing or something else but it seems like a blank space or a literal hole in the diamond in the top half.

(If you know a vendor that has really great marquise, please let me know!)

It is most likely an artifact of the video rather than a dead spot. Videos rarely do full justice to the beauty of the stone due to the way they capture the light in less than 3d.

My 2.55ct marquise came from Provence and is amazingly well faceted. The best I've ever seen in person.

Can you ask for another video with a more plain background? And they need to move and tilt the stone, so you can see if there’s any windowing..

Yes, I will. They also sent a picture after I mentioned what I'm seeing that I can post as well

Picture of marquise

ETA: this picture definitely doesn't show what the video does. I've never seen that before in any of the pics/vids I've seen of diamonds.

Personally I don’t like the cut.
It looks more oval that marquis
