aye, but reading down - the diameter is 7.12x6.84... 0.28mm differance (68% depth too)

 

[stebbo]

68.1% depth!

AGS8 at best. No wonder the GIA got it. Reckon it got an EX?

 

[stebbo]

The rest of the specs get even better, very thick girdle, fair symmetry, crown over 35 deg.

It must have been locked away in a safe for 7 years, of course.

No wonder they didn't show the report.

And here''s an artist''s impression:

 

[stebbo]

Oh, and the asking price of $6250 and recommended retail of $17550, USA Certed still has it listed at $5585!

Good research, Stebbo!

Actually, what makes it even more comical is that you could have got an AGS 0 in that color and clarity for even less:

Same physical diameter,
Ideal symmetry instead of fair,
Ideal polish instead of good,
AGS 0 instead of a predicted AGS 10
Even H&A!
And with reports, longer return periods and other valued-added features.
