What are the crown and pavilian angles from the cert on this one?

It looks the most promising. Price is good too if it has good optical symetry.
Get the angles and post them and ask to make sure its eyeclean.

Do you have ideal scope images or sarin data or h&a photos on any of them?

Additional info for ''4 Ideals to Choose From'' for CB -- crown angle is 34 and pav angle is 60.5 I don''t have the scope images or sarin data or h&a photos - will call supplier and ask. Thank you for your input...

Hi CB, I think you just listed the depth (60.5) not the pavilion angle? At least I hope that isn''t the pavilion angle Can you check it again?

 

[CB]

Whoa! So true...major error! pav is 40.6 Thx so much

From the numbers you posted, I like three the best - the 1.14.

 

[hoorray]

They all have potential to be great stones, but if I had to pick one from the numbers, I''d pick the 1.14.
I would look at the crown and pavilion angles along with inclusion details/pictures of all of them to see if that gives you more info to differentiate them. Get details on the inclusions to make sure they are not visible or present an integrity problem (reaching the surface).

Thx for the input, the 1.17 has been eliminated. Yes, 1.14 has nice measurements --also has a few more inclusions (clouds and crystals, 1 feather) compared to the 1.13 that may only have a cloud and its sarin is "ideal." Waiting for sarin on 1.19 which is also cleaner than the 1.14. SO....if you ranked them 1.2.3 how would you do it? #2 and #3 would be.....? Continued thanks! CB

Between the two, HCA scores and clarity would make the cut.... if you cannot obtain photos or see the stone that is.

I would not just count the kinds of inclusions

on the lab report - how big and where each is makes a big difference.

Of course, I have no idea how the clarity was communicated to you. Have you seen these? Do you have copies of the lab report ? How else ?
