Hi there,
It almost seems like the definition of ideal changes depending on whom you ask!
I have a very nice vendor bringing in a stone for review...it''s a 3.22ct GSI1 graded ideal 0 by AGS in all 3 areas: polish, symmetry, and proportions. However, when I entered the specs into HCA, it scored a disappointing 3.1 and got "Very Good" on light return, fire, and spread. Scintillation scored an even more disappointing "Good." Shouldn''t an AGS0 stone have scored "Excellent" on most of these parameters?? Anyway, I''ll let you all be the judge:
Cert date: Dec 2004
Color: G
Clarity: SI1
Cut: AGS Ideal 0, sym/pol/proportions = all 0
Wt: 3.228
Depth %: 61.4
Table %: 56%
Crown ang: 35.3
Pav ang: 41.0
Crown: 15.5%
Pav: 43.4%
Gird: .7 to 1.3%, faceted
Culet: pointed
Kind of a deep stone, no? My vendor will Sarin and Idealscope the stone so I''ll be getting more info, but so far, I''m feeling a bit uncertain about this one. Anyone care to weigh in? I need help!!!!
Thanks so much!
