Mara Ideal Rock Total Posts: 27,919 Last Post: 11/23/2009 Member Since: 10/30/2002	Crown and pav angles from a Sarin would be helpful, then someone can run it through the DiamCalc for you and it will 'estimate' your fish-eye effect. Or maybe an expert in the industry can pipe in with what their thoughts are on the info given? Did you SEE a fish-eye when you viewed the stone? The table is a little large (even for my taste!), so this may not be the best cut stone...post more info if you can. ________________________________ "Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." -Albert Einstein

Unsure Rough Rock Total Posts: 8 Last Post: 7/15/2003 Member Since: 7/14/2003	It would be great if someone else could put their two cents in also. I would really appreciate it. This ia all the info given to me. I sparkles like crazy, but at times, in strong fluorescent lighting looks a bit opaque. How do I go about getting the other measurements? I am not sure if I see a fish eye, it is hard to tell. And I HAVE been reading up and looking at examples. Again, all help is truly appreciated. Thanks Unsure

Pricescope Administrator Total Posts: 8,265 Last Post: 1/5/2008 Member Since: 1/1/2000	Having a pavilion angle would help of course to be sure. I played with different combination of pavilion angles, 64% table and 59.8% depth on Diamond Calculator. It is rather unlikely for this stone to be a fisheye. Most probably it is just a heavy, deep make. Try to tilt the stone slightly to see whether you can see girdle reflection under the table. If you have to tilt it more than 5 degrees, it is not a fisheye. Pricescope

Who should I bring this to? ---------------- You might want to show it to independen appraiser. You also can ask your vendor to get Sarin or Ogi measurements for the stone. ---------------- Is this a GOOD stone? ---------------- It is not an ideal cut for sure. You should decide for yourself whether you like it and whether the price is fair for its quality. Pricescope

Unsure Rough Rock Total Posts: 8 Last Post: 7/15/2003 Member Since: 7/14/2003	Thanks for the info. I am not too familiar with the going rates for THIS diamond. Based on the stats, what is your estimate of what would be a fair price? I just want to make sure I am not getting robbed. Unsure

Unsure Rough Rock Total Posts: 8 Last Post: 7/15/2003 Member Since: 7/14/2003	Giangi- sorry, I thought I had posted it. I just edited the post. Color is H. Thanks for your help. I just want peace of mind. And to be honest, it is very hard to trust the sales people. Most do not have any clue as helping you with cut. I was told that this was a well cut diamond. Again, if you could give me an estimate of a fair price, I would really appreciate it. Unsure

Pricescope Administrator Total Posts: 8,265 Last Post: 1/5/2008 Member Since: 1/1/2000	My guess would be about $9,000-$9,500 (give or take a few 100s). Have you compared these stones to others? You might want to compare it to ideal or just well cut stone. Pricescope

Giangi Ideal Rock Total Posts: 2,530 Last Post: 10/29/2006 Member Since: 1/23/2003	I'd say $9-10K depending on where you buy it. Diamonds with 64% table can be very attractive if well proportioned and can display a great deal of white light. _____________ Omnia Mea Mecum Porto. Giangi
