Hi nik,

Are you sure you typed the correct PA for the first one? So far, I would personally want an Idealscope pic for the other 3, is that possible? They all have "potential" by the numbers.

Playing with the HCA, the only way I come up with a 1.6 for the first with the other numbers is a 40.8 PA. Based on just the numbers, and if that is correct, the first would be in the lead for me. I would want IS images, also, if possible.

That PA is possible but I don't think it would get an Ex cut grade with it, must be 40.8...Ditto Idealscope in any case.

Ditto the request for IS if possible.

I''m sorry everyone, the PA for diamond 1 is 40.8. Unfortunately, I have no idealscope image available. I''m looking into buying the diamond this weekend. Thanks again for your advice.
