diamanda Rough Rock Total Posts: 31 Last Post: 11/9/2009 Member Since: 6/11/2009	Hi All, Earlier, I posted to see what everyone thought of a particular diamond. Turns out I had linked to another thread, not the diamond! Anyhow, I would really appreciate it if I could pick you guys' brains to see if this is a quality rock. Here's the correct LINK It's on hold - the image still works. Please let me know what you all think. Any feedback would be much appreciated! I'm waiting on the idealscope image which I'll get shortly, and I'll post that too. THANK YOU! Carat weight: 0.91 Cut: Ideal Color: H Clarity: SI1 Certificate: GIA Depth: 61.3% Table: 57.0% Polish: Excellent Symmetry: Very Good Girdle: medium Culet: None Fluorescence: Strong Measurements: 6.256.183.81 HCA is 1.8 I think (I wrote it down somewhere - I'm certain it's below 2) Price: $2880

Something is off but cant tell if it is the pic or the diamond itself. Plus a large part of the pic is cut off in the viewer. ...........

diamanda Rough Rock Total Posts: 31 Last Post: 11/9/2009 Member Since: 6/11/2009	I believe this was the diamond you suggested, Stone Cold! I just remembered... Looking at the arrows, do you see any "obstruction" problems? I will ask Darin if it is eye clean. He's been really helpful so far!

I just remembered... Looking at the arrows, do you see any 'obstruction' problems? I will ask Darin if it is eye clean. He's been really helpful so far! The diamond in the posted report will not show obstruction, no need to worry about that. Obstruction is only normally an issue with some shallower crown and pavilion angled combos. Check that the grade setting cloud is not impacting brilliance by asking JA's gemologist to check it.

Stone-cold11 Ideal Rock Total Posts: 6,859 Last Post: 11/22/2009 Member Since: 9/9/2008	Ditto, no worries about obstructions issue in this stone. Oh, also ask about if the fluor results in the stone looking oily/hazy. Small percentage of that happening but no harm checking to make sure.

Lorelei Ideal Rock Total Posts: 34,212 Last Post: 11/22/2009 Member Since: 4/30/2005	Looks great! Shouldn't be an issue with the strong blue fluorescence either as negative effects are very rare, I am sure you will be ok - nice diamond.

diamanda Rough Rock Total Posts: 31 Last Post: 11/9/2009 Member Since: 6/11/2009	Thanks Lorelei - I know I don't have the most fantastic budget for a diamond. Darin at JA just told me he can only hold this until tomorrow. I'm going to assume it is a safe buy unless anyone else objects. Here is the magnified image that he just sent me (but is still cropped at the bottom..hrm.).
