Advice for Newbie''s

[derekinla]

I''ve noticed alot of new pricescope members asking for an opinion on a particular stone. When evaluating the cut of a stone, be sure get the full specs (measurements, angles, depth percentages). With just a GIA report a full assessment of the quality of cut is speculative at best. This is because GIA reports only show table size and a depth percentage. Therefore, be sure to ask for a Sarin analysis / megascope analysis to get the full physical specifications. If you have an AGS report, the sarin analysis is included with the certification. Good Luck!

oops,

you are correct. i meant to say that the AGS report comes with the full sarin measurements and not a separate formal sarin report. The AGS does use a sarin machine to get the specs which they than incorporate into the report.
