First, I happy that my IdealScope arrived quickly and that it is very easy to use.
My stone arrived today, so I got the two together for a little party.

Then there is my IS photo. This is me holding the tweezers and a piece of paper in one hand up to a light, the IS and my _cellphone camera_ in the other. Somehow I managed to press the shutter button.
So, I think all the the hard work and research here has paid off. My photo is horrible, but I think it passes. Comments?
This was a 1.1 TIC
The girdle is thicker than some, but to the eye it looks great.
With a 10X I can see the cloud that rendered this a VS2. I would love to move it 1mm over and make it a VS1. I absolutely cannot find it or any defect to the naked eye. In the loop, the cut looks great.
