Aset...too much green?

[Mlh]

I don't have a video, just the report. I would think with these stats there would be more red. Would love your thoughts. I must be missing something. Thank you!!

Hi, Mlh!
GCAL doesn't use the AGS ASET, but their scope does reveal quite a bit, as well.
This diamond likely has some pavilion painting, around 6°?
Very hard to try and translate the GCAL scope to ASET scope.

Thanks @DejaWiz ! I am a complete novice re: painting and digging. I defer to you!! So hard to tell with this one? Think the painting is impacting performance?

no it doesn't look at the leakage pattern.
Then look at the lack of black in the 6 degree pavilion painting aset.
With the gcal images you have to look at both the leakage image(optical brilliance) and the symmetry image.

Thank you, Karl - invaluable info, as always!

So I'm confused. Do you think the image tells the story about the performance of this stone? Does it look good to you? Sorry for being such a novice! Thanks so much for weighing in @Karl_K!!

Hi @Mlh
It was nice speaking to just now - here are the slides i was telling you about on the call - i am also going to post some additional info on the stone in a few

 

[GCAL-Angelo]

@Mlh - this was before we reported a few additional measurements
LGF is 76.57%
Star is 48.72%
There is crown painting of 1.75 (average)
@DejaWiz was correct that there is pavilion painting of 0.57 (average) and a max of 1.34
and below is the slide we showed during the webinar of the painting and digging we allow on 8X

 

[GCAL-Angelo]

finally, just for reference, because we hadnt taken hearts and arrows images for this stone, this is the ray-traced generated image of the hearts of GCAL Cert 300380065

to be clear - if we show hearts and arrows on our cert or web page, it is always actual

but this is the ray trace from the scan (in lieu of the actual)

What a stunner! How will you set it?

 

[Mlh]

Thanks so much @Kim N @lovedogs !! It means a lot coming from the two of you!! I took the picture through the plastic on the box. It looks a bit dirty in this picture. I am going to make a pendant. Now I am obsessing over a chain
