This is a 1.57 H&A AGS H VS2 for $9071, couldn't ask for better

Couldn't ask for better?  How could you know that from the limited info provided?

There's no crown/pavilion angles given.  What if the pavilion angle is 42.1 and the crown angle is 35.3?  This stone would likely be more dead than the unknown soldier under those conditions.  You don't know yet.

Slizatch, by all means, you should consider this stone because it fits your budget, but get the more detailed information you need.

Al,

I wasn't suggesting that he buy it without more info - although it is an AGS inscribed H&A so I doubt it's a dud - but it was the only stone that fit his criteria that left him money for the setting, and in any case it is miles better than he could do at a mall store!

I know, and I didn't think you were suggesting that, Choo.....I just wanted to remind him to get the info.  He may construe "couldn't ask for better" as an indicator that you think the stone is well-cut, and there's no way to know that without more information.

And because he's new, he may not know that just because it's inscribed H&A doesn't mean that AGS has *deemed* it an H&A.  He may not realize that if the ring was inscribed with "made in Bedrock", AGS would note that on the report too.

It's because he's new that I clarify these things.  I didn't tell him to disqualify the stone....I agreed that it may be a great find......MAY be.  He won't know for sure until he gets more info, and being a newbie, I thought it might be helpful to remind him of that.  Nothing personal to you.
