What do these numbers mean?

ChelseaL13 Rough Rock Total Posts: 25 Last Post: 3/27/2008 Member Since: 8/21/2006	I am looking at a F-SI1 1.6 ct round. I asked the seller what the stoes measurements are and he replied: 7.53x7.58x4.48mm. What Do these numbers mean? The stone is graded by Gemological Appraisal Laboratory of America, Inc. I checked them out with the Better Business Bureau and they were in god standing. Has anyone ever heard of them? The asking price for the stone is $7499.00. I would like to find out: 1) What the meaurement numbers mean, 2) Is this stone a good deal, 3) What is GAL lab? Thank you. Chelsea

Only then could you know if the price is fair. We'd recommend either GIA or AGS labs for reliability and accuracy. ~~~ When in doubt...don't.~~~
