Especially in the smaller sizes, under 0.10ct, these stones have quite a lot of dispersion and stand out from other cuts when pave' set in groups. There is a realationship in appearance with old mine cut diamonds and my speculation in an earleri thread on this topic proved that my thinking was in the right direction about how light would react if diamonds were cut to have more dispersion. Mr. Ambar has promised to supply me with a few samples for testing and photographing in the near future which I hope to share with the Pricescope community. The interface with Bez Ambar and Pricescope is a very enthusiastic young fellow named Ian Roy. I believe it will be beneficial to study this material and cutting style further. David S.
