I have been working with Traci at WF over the last couple of weeks and I wanted some of the PS experts to evaluate this stone. Traci has been very patient and a dream to work with. Final price is around $7,800. Appreciate your input.

Am I missing it somewhere? I don't see the color and clarity. Is this from their Expert Selection or has it been called in for you? I see something going on with the symmetry.

It looks like a very nice stone.









Nothing is more sacred as the bond between horse and rider...no other creature can ever become so emotionally close to a human as a horse. When a horse dies, the memory lives on because an enormous part of his owner's heart, soul, very existence dies also...but that can never be laid to rest, it is not meant to be...

Swingirl: sorry that I neglected to include that. The stone is a G SI1 and was called in by WF. You mentioned something about the symmetry. What are your concerns? Thanks

Hi buff,

The stone should be very pretty! It looks like it would have great light return and sparkle. Wonderful size too!! If eyeclean, I see no reason not to get it.

"It is also important for the State to inculcate in its subjects an aversion to any 'conspiracy theory of history' for a search for 'conspiracies' means a search for motives and an attribution of responsibility for historical misdeeds."

-Murray N. Rothbard, in The Anatomy of the State



John Swinton [1829-1901] Chief Editorial Writer of the New York Times (Considered "the Dean of his Profession" by his peers), when asked to toast an 'Independent Press' in a gathering at the National Press Club, circa 1880

"There is no such thing in America as an independent press unless it is in the country towns. You know it, and I know it. There is not one of you who dare express an honest opinion. If you express it you know beforehand that it would never appear in print. I am paid... for keeping my honest opinions out of the paper I am connected with. Others of you are paid similar salaries for doing similar things....

The business of the New York journalist is to distort the truth, to lie outright, to pervert, to vilify, to fawn at the feet of Mammon, and sell his country and race for his daily bread, or for what is about the same thing, his salary. You know this, and I know it and what foolery to be toasting an 'independent press.' We are tools, and the vassals of rich men behind the scenes. We are jumping-jacks. They pull the strings and we dance. Our time, our talents, our lives, our possibilities, all are the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes."

Ellen: Thanks for the reply. Per Traci, at WF, stone is eye clean at 5 cm and beyond. That is sufficient with me.

Sounds like you are good to go.

And you're welcome. Come back with pics if you can!

sorry to give info piece meal. the quality of the cert is poor but I wanted to point out the excellent cut, polish and symmetry as well as the med blue fluorescence. Do you feel the fluorescence will have a significant impact on the color? Thank you all once again. PS has saved me from purchasing an overpriced poorly cut stone. My FF and I are eternally grateful.

That's ok, we could tell by the Sarin about the cut, along with the IS pic.

And no, the med. flo should not have an affect either way. No problems!

That is a lovely diamond, the med fluorescence is of no concern, you might notice it if the light is right as a pretty violety glow, but it depends - you may not see much of it at all.  There are many fluorescence fans here!

I don't think it took. Try renaming it and try again.

I tried to attach a different way, but didn't work. Again, no problems with the stone buff.
