It's a reality that you can find stones lower than the "0" grade which are in real life as pretty (or prettier) than the "O". If I were buying a diamond, I would rely more on the HCA as an indicator than the "O" grade. Rich, GG Sarasota Gemological Laboratory Rich, Independent GG Appraiser Sarasota Gemological Laboratory

If you haven't heard about it, check it out at his site. It's only $25, but makes the process of elimination and selection exponentially easier. Rich Garry, just send my commission to: Sarasota Gemological Laboratory 640 S. Washington, Ste 175 Sarasota, Fl 34232 PS Enibas- Dave Atlas also sells the IdealScope at his website http://www.gemappraisers.com/index.htm Rich, Independent GG Appraiser Sarasota Gemological Laboratory

I dont' think there's a better way to evaluate. The HCA is indeed helpful, but I had a stone that rated under a 1 but got mostly goods on the Brilliance scope. Then I had another stone that rated a 3.7 or 4.7, and got almost all very goods. Needless to say, the stone with the very goods also performed better to the eye.
