I just thought I would like to direct your attention to this ad. Lovely color, but does have some visible inclusions. For those who like inclusions, this may be a steal.

Hi,
I excitedly went to loupe troupe today thinking this stone may be sold Last nite i asked myself if I should buy it.

I looked more carefully today and saw a few things that stood out to me.
1. The inclusions were surface reaching. That makes a big difference.
2. The appraisal, which Part Gypsy relied on for her pricing seemed outrageously ridiculous. It was over 10,000 for replacement value.
3. How does an appraiser have the nerve to value this dollar amount, full well knowing no insurer is going to pay for a stone with these faults, (or would an insurer pay this amount).?

I'm annoyed at the appraiser. Any comments? I wanted to clarify.
