Had a rock that looked very nice:

RB, 1.51 ct, F, VS1 EX/EX no floresc, etc.

but them after the Sarin report

depth 60.9%
crown 31.8' (12.9%)
pavillion 42.0' (44.7%)
table 58%
culet 0.8% (vs)
girdle 1.0-1.7

HCS says:

light return fair, fire & scint poor
spread for weight very good

Is this a case of a very nice diamond with a cut that could have been better, or am i not interpreting the results?

Not a great buy.
Ex/Ex means very little if the proportions are lousy.
