I know it's a little opaque and the cut is slightly wonky but it is quite reasonably priced and I thought about having it recut? What do you think?

Personally I'd buy a top notch spinel instead. Where did you find it by the way? The 'bubbles' are saying suspect to me as well as the look of that table - could well be fractured filled with glass as well.

If there's a chance it could be fracture filled i'll pass thats something I don't want to mess with regardless of the good price. thanks again "The time has come for us to stand a little taller, to lift our eyes and stretch our minds to a greater comprehension and understanding" - G.

I never would have thought of those bubbles being suspicious. Linda ******************************** "Life is what happens to you, while you are busy making other plans". John Lennon

You'd need to have the stone properly looked at. Is it being sold by a trusted vendor? Does the price sound too good to be true?
