Does this look like there's a chip on the table?

Looks like a chip in the table and much zoning to me.  Also looks like leaning more towards the purple side.

It's purplish and the symmetry is lumpy and terrible. In addition to the visible chip or inclusion, the table is misaligned over to one end and the faceting is awful. It's strongly zoned -- look at the bottom-up view. Stay away!!

There are frequently very good buys on Ebay but it's strictly a "buyer beware" environment. Every sale and seller must be judged individually by a knowledgeable buyer.

Hello Richard M.,

I have purchased from this seller before and the stones were very nice.  His pictures are very accurate "IF" you know what you are looking for.  The cutting of most of his stones aren't great but the material is ussually very good.  Great for a cutter like yourself as a preform.  As you said this peice looks very zoned.

Great suggestion MJO. Thanks. The images are accurate so some degree of judgment about quality and recut options is possible.
