Another eBay find: Antique stone looks very much like an AVC

[Gem-Show]

I'm browsing eBay for my own entertainment. This stone looks strikingly like an August Vintage Cushion, to me:

Looks darn close. Over the course of 30+ years in the industry and seeing hundreds of OMB's we've never seen one identical to them but yes, this one does look close.

Wow, this is beyond dirty. You can find a brand new august vintage that's a lot bigger and way cleaner than that! That can't possibly be worth half what they're asking!

Seems pricey! Why?

Funny but I have that exact picture saved as a setting inspiration in case I ever am so fortunate to have an AVC!

We have no idea what the true price is because it is listed as "best offer".

I like how they're describing it as "Si1" despite what look like big black clouds in the middle of the stone.

Looking at their feedback, they seem to regularly accept offers of 25% off the list price, which would still put this at 11k. For which price I would certainly have a smaller, cleaner AVC! I don't mind some inclusions, but those look pretty distracting.

Agreed with all regarding the inclusions and the price. I wasn't considering purchasing this at all, but when it came up in my search results I just had to share because of the apparent facet pattern. I've never seen an "antique" so similar to an AVC.

Yea that does look quite dirty for an SI1. DS that is just too funny.
