does this make a difference?

Help please....

If one stone on the HCA scores a .7 and another one scores 1.1 which one is more firey and sparkly? Assume their idealscope images are the almost similar.

Thanks.

You can't tell by the HCA, it is an elimination tool and a score under 2 means a diamond is a contender, but the HCA can't predict individual performance. With these scores, it doesn't mean either diamond is better than the other, you then need to assess the individual proportions of each diamond, along with the Idealscope images, and ASET if available - so you can then go by your individual preference. Also your vendor may be able to advise you further if these diamonds are in house. Basically, you can't by a diamond on the HCA score alone, it is part of the selection process - get a score below 2 then you go by other methods to ascertain performance.
