Hi -
I am deciding on a diamond. The GIA report shows this diamond as a F. When comparing the diamond, the jeweler showed me the rock upside down on a white platform. On it, he also had a E color. I was pretty surprised that I can see the color difference between the E and F. Aren''t they both suppose to be colorless? Is that only when they are right side up and not upside down? Also, he had a G color next to it. The F looked very much like the G but when I asked, he said that the G had some flourescence and was probably "punished" to a G color when in should''ve been a F.
Does this sound right?
