Here is a similar stone for price comparison: $2750 The only question is whether or not the flourescence affects the stone's appearance. Generally, medium flourescence shouldn't be a big concern, but it should also keep the price a little lower than it would have been otherwise. You just want to make sure that the stone doesn't have a milky or oily appearance. If it is certified by the GIA or AGs, it sounds like a good deal though you may be able to negotiate a bit. Have you seen it? How does it look?

fookie Rough Rock Total Posts: 21 Last Post: 2/9/2004 Member Since: 9/25/2003	Yup, it's AGS certified with a Sarin report. It checks out all good. The other stone is this: Carat weight: 0.73 Color: H Clarity: VS1 Depth %: 61.1% Table %: 55% Crown %: 34.1% Pavillion %: 40.4% Symmetry: Ideal Polish: Ideal Girdle: Thin to slightly thick, faceted Culet: 0.7% - Slight Fluorescence: Negligible Measurements: 5.80x5.86x3.56 mm Price: 3000.00 I haven't seen either stone, but I'm leaning towards the first one. The spread is about the same on both, but the cut is just a tad bit better on the first one. Also, the Medium Blue flu might improve the visual color of the first stone. Let me know what you all think. Thanks once again. BTW: Unfortunately these are the negotiated prices, though I don't think the prices are too far off for such a great cut.

Make the comparison before you drop the $$$. My experience has not been too good when the pavilion angles fall this shallow. My .02c Rhino Good Old Gold

fookie Rough Rock Total Posts: 21 Last Post: 2/9/2004 Member Since: 9/25/2003	Oh, BTW the Pavillion Angle on the second diamond is actually 40.7. Doesn't know if that makes a difference.
