PunchNPie75 Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,227 Last Post: 2/9/2008 Member Since: 8/5/2004	i'm new to this because on my first stone I didnt know crown and pavilion numbers, but... i got my new stone today and plugged the #s into the HCA calculator. with using crown/pavilion angles, it got a score of 2.7 (all VG) and I got the impression HCA thinks my new stone stinks. If I plugged in crown/pavilion%, it got a 1.9 (one Ex, rest VG) and HCA now likes it! why the difference? sorry for my ignorance, this is all new to me. the stone IS very sparklie though! woo hoo, because as you can see below: My favorite color is sparkle!!!
