Question about measurements...

It will show the length x width x depth for fancy shapes. Look here and click on the grading report. You can roll over the grading report items to get a better description. http://www.pricescope.com/tutor_cert.asp Does this help?

The table percentage for fancy shapes is the relationship of the table across the WIDTH of the stone only. No reference is made or measured against the length:table ratio at all. If you multiply the table percentage times the width measurement you will have the mm measurement of the table width. Not that you can do much with it, but it there it is. David S.
