Hopefully one of the experts see this post, amateurs like me do not want to give you bad advice. I have read, but never seen, that fluoresence can help with the lower color grades, but H is not that low. I have also read that fluoresence is really not that serious unless the stone has a "chalky" appearance. Do you have any of the other stats?

Medium flouresence is rarely ever a problem as far as the look of the diamond goes. There's a little bit of a bias against it (unfounded according to a GIA study) which causes stones with flouresence to sometimes be discounted a little bit, depending on the stones other characteristics. Stones with Strong/Very Strong/Extremely Strong flouresence can sometimes have a milky look in certain lightings, but it's not always the case. In fact, I'm pretty sure it's a minority of the time that a negative appearance results. In certain lighting, (like sunlight or other lights with UV rays) medium flouresence will make your H color stone appear whiter, while in other types of lighting it will have no effect. From what I've heard, some people actually prefer medium blue flouresence in H, I, J, K colored stones. As far as the cut of the stone, you listed Ideal Cut in your description, but that is a very subjective description. Is it an AGS ideal cut, the vendor's opinion of what an ideal cut is (based on depth/table), or some other type of ideal cut someone has come up with? It would really help to have crown and pavilion angles before we can accurately start examing the quality of the stone's cut. These are found on a sarin report if the vendor can get access to one. Best of luck in your search.
