i know what you mean, cuz one time i asked for advise about purchasing a natural emerald and they scare the S**T out of me... i was looking for a natural emerald equal to G SI1 in diamond terms...Gypsy|1334876335|3175555 said:webdiva|1334875355|3175536 said:I would post on the colored stone forum, too! They have awesome knowledge!
With a caveat. They will tell you ALL the stone negatives. ALL OF THEM. And it might scare the crap out of you. But with colored stones they are just telling you all the issues, not saying that other comparable stones won't have the same ones. It's scary for people used to RT to get advice on CS. They don't mean to, but they can be very intense and kinda come off as very negative about any purchase except for top ones. Some of the posters don't seem to quality things with price-- like they don't think "is it good for the price"... they look at it as a absolute. It's like comparing each diamond to a D IF. If I listed all the issues with any other diamond a poster was considering it would sound scary and NO ONE would buy a J SI EVER, but once you understand how it works you'll realize that there are acceptable traits and unacceptable ones and that YOU are the only person ultimately that judges that.
