Dancing Fire Ideal Rock Total Posts: 10,224 Last Post: 11/23/2009 Member Since: 4/3/2004	I looked at a Lazar couple weeks ago. The salesman showed me a 1.25 E SI2 for $8000 that really lit up the room and I was impressed. Strange thing about LK is that their PAV degree for an ideal cut is 42.2-42.8 where other modern day ideal cut is in the range of 40.7-41 degree. On the other hand, he had some other ones in his showcase that looked dead. I have also seen couple of hearts on fire which didn't have very much fire. They want lots of money for it. So I guess it all depends on each individual stone; no matter the brand. Every brand claim they are the best cut in the world. I also have seen 8s, their 8 arrows are definitely broader compared to other ideal cuts and you can tell with a naked eye. it is always harder to find a "mind clean"* stone than a eye clean stone.

I know this was discussed recently on another thread, but can't remember what the conclusion was... quaeritur
