Mara Ideal Rock Total Posts: 27,919 Last Post: 11/23/2009 Member Since: 10/30/2002	since we tend to split hairs on here.... the IS and images look FAB. BUT i don't love the VG/VG polish and symm vs ID ID or EX EX and i also don't like a thin-slightly thick girdle. i also prefer a slightly smaller depth, because you lose a bit of diameter in a 61.7 stone. not much but for me...i'm a size whore so i want it up top! also 35 crown angle is not my thing either. if it was 40.8 that'd be different for me personally. those are just MY neurosis!!!....but i know that it's slim pickins in this range and all that, so i wouldn't toss it out of bed...but i'd sure keep looking for something that had ALL my requirements just to make sure you cover all bases before slapping down the money. my two cents. it's definitely no slouch though! ________________________________ "Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." -Albert Einstein

JadeLeaves Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,464 Last Post: 7/2/2009 Member Since: 4/24/2004	Thanks mara - I've been reading up on different ppl's sweet spots, and thought that this might be a tad deeper, but don't know whether the crown/pav combo will work. I haven't had a chance to speak to Jon about this yet. I think the clarity pics shows feathers in between 4.30-5 o'clock position? Yes it has been rather hard finding stones in this range .:.

Mara Ideal Rock Total Posts: 27,919 Last Post: 11/23/2009 Member Since: 10/30/2002	OH duh I was looking at the min requirements on the Sarin!! Okay scratch my VGVG thing....the cert shows what looks like Med-Slightly Thick for the girdle. Chances are between the 61.8 depth and the slightly thick areas of the girdle you are losing a bit of carat weight in there, not sure how much, it may not be much at all. I'd ask Jonathan, see what he thinks. Again, this is all just really splitting hairs!! ________________________________ "Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." -Albert Einstein

I would want to see it's scintillation.

Mara Ideal Rock Total Posts: 27,919 Last Post: 11/23/2009 Member Since: 10/30/2002	the feathers don't concern me, i'm not a clarity person really as i can't see anything! plus they all appear to be inside the stone which means there won't be any girdle compromise. so that sarin shows VG on everything and VG cut grade? how odd? and a slightly thick girdle as an average...which bugs me. ________________________________ "Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." -Albert Einstein

I totally understand, though, about wanting to get the most amount of spread possible. I, too, tend to like stones with a depth in the mid 60s, but if everything else about this stone checks out to be top notch, I wouldn't discard it for that reason alone. Especially since the depth won't impact performance at all. And stones in this size are SO hard to come by. Keep us posted on the bscope and colorimeter results!! ETA How's Button?

Still keeping you up at night?? Lol abt the 1/100ths of a mm I kept asking myself - will I regret it if I let this one go and someone else snaps it up straightaway? Try as I might, I can't answer that - need to speak to batman! I have heaps of time to search for a stone since Mark is not available till end of august anyway, but I'm afraid that it'll be hard to find another one! Then again, it has only taken a bit over a month to find this one Button is a very naughty boy these days. He waits till I am lying down before starting his gymnastics. Someone mentioned in the Pregnant P'sers thread that we tend to notice the movements more when we are resting, but I've been charting Button's movements (yeah I'm a geek) and he is MOST active when mummy is resting! Other than that I am enjoying the pregnancy! Actually, I love feeling Button moves in my belly, I just need something to complain about . It is getting very hard to get out of my car (it's very low on the ground), so I might have to get a new car soon, or swap with hubby! How's your little girl? Have u got a nickname for her yet? xoxo Jade. .:. What has been walked on is not where I want to go. .:.

Mara Ideal Rock Total Posts: 27,919 Last Post: 11/23/2009 Member Since: 10/30/2002	having some fun there JL ? hehee. i would check into this one thoroughly but also keep looking around. you don't just want to settle for something that isn't EXACTLY what you want, esp since you do have the time. but this is a sweet size! as for how much size you might be losing in the diameter, it could be a fair amount....dee jay was checking out a 3.57c stone and a 3.75c stone the other day and the 3.75c had a depth of something like 62% and the 3.57 had something like 60.5% and the 3.75 had the same mm diameter as the 3.57! So basically she would have paid for a 3.75c but really gotten a visual 3.50c. Anyway...just some food for thought. I know 3.75 is not the same as 2.63 but the bigger the stones get, the more the mm makes a difference IMO. I want bang for my buck. ________________________________ "Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." -Albert Einstein
