It has a luster I have never seen before....almost metalic. I have never seen a diamond reflect like this before.

It is deff green, with yellow undertone. It also has green flour. I picked up on it as soon as I took it outside, as its table seems to reflect green in the sun.

Now the bad...It is cut VERY VERY deep, with a huge belly. It looks like it was cut to maintain as much weight as possable. Because of this, it is dark in the middle, with light in very center, where the lower pavilion facets are cut at the right angle.

Should I have the diamond recut? I think cut right, it will light right up and have good color like the crown facets do. BUT, it will bring it below the 1ct mark. Or should I leave as is above the 1ct mark with the darkness. Or should I return it?

I paid 1k for the diamond. By recutting it will the lower weight lower the value a ton, or do you think the increase in color will help it maintain its value?

I will post pics tonight!
