OUUUUUUCCCCHHHH. I actually feel pain

The med blue is not the problem.
That cut is pretty darn bad.
The depth is nice.
The table is HORRIBLE.
And the X thin girdle tops it off.

Check out gemappraisers.com.

strong blue means that this stone will have a blue hue to it. some really like the look. only worries would be if the stone has a muddled look becuase of the strong fluoro (only happens very rarely) but, if you haven't seen the stone in person, be sure to ask!! there isn't enough info to really judge the overall cut (crown height, pavillion etc...). but it looks ok for what it is.

Yikes! I thought it was medium flourescence.
OMG- seriously. Run from this stone. And for that quality stone, the price is much too high.
Sorry belle- there is MORE than enough to judge the cut. An 80 table princess, X thin girdle is NEVER a good stone. The crown is going to be SOOOO freakin low.

oh, mmm, it''s not THAT bad!!! of course rj, could probably do better, but there is certainly MUCH worse out there.

sorry rj, i only answered your fluoro question, but to reiterate what mmm said, the table is big, and you want to stay away from extra anything.....especially if it spans to the other extreme (ie thin to thick, vice versa)

go to the top of this page and plug in your #''s..........
make sure you look at similar stones (table > 78, extremely thin girdle etc.) and you should get a good idea of compairisons
