It scores a nice 0.7, ex, ex, ex, ex on the HCA. It certainly sounds lovely on paper. Have you seen it?

Lorelei Ideal Rock Total Posts: 34,273 Last Post: 11/25/2009 Member Since: 4/30/2005	Hi Paolm, It looks promising by the numbers ( thanks PG!) Is it for sale with an online seller or have you seen it in person? If it is online then an Idealscope or ASET image would be helpful, these images are used in order to see how well the proportions of the diamond work together which is particularly useful if you can't see the diamond in person. Nothing is more sacred as the bond between horse and rider...no other creature can ever become so emotionally close to a human as a horse. When a horse dies, the memory lives on because an enormous part of his owner's heart, soul, very existence dies also...but that can never be laid to rest, it is not meant to be... - Stephanie M Thorn

It looks really quite nice and sparkles but to be honest I am no expert. I could not really tell the difference in colour and it was eye clear - at least to my eyes!! They are asking USD40k so don't know if that is too much

They are asking USD40k so don't know if that is too much What I would so as this is a sizeable purchase, if you like the diamond - make the sale final on it getting a good report in all aspects to your satisfaction with an independant appraiser. That way you will have an experienced professional give you their opinion on the diamond which is very valuable. Here is a tool you can use to find an appraiser in your area. http://www.pricescope.com/appr_list.aspx Also if you wished, you could order an Idealscope for $25 and check it out yourself, these are easy to use and will help you to judge the cut. http://www.ideal-scope.com/cart_zoom_item.asp?Id=2&ShowAdd=Y http://www.ideal-scope.com/using_reference_chart.asp Nothing is more sacred as the bond between horse and rider...no other creature can ever become so emotionally close to a human as a horse.

I definitely think an independent appraiser would be a great idea for a first and large purchase like this. The numbers look promising, but without pics I can't say much more.

It isn't up to hearts and arrows standards but is a well cut stone nevertheless.
