Lab GIA (June 6, 2006)
Cut Grade: Excellent
Polish: Excellent
Symmetry: Excellent
Med Blue Fluorescence
7.66 x 7.71 x 4.77
Table: 56%
Depth: 62.1%
Crown Angle: 34.5
Pav Angle: 41.2
Culet: None
I ran the HCA and it came out to be 3.2 Very Good, with Light Return & Spread Very Good; Fire & Scintillation Good.
The reason I''m asking is that a friend of mine bought this diamond sight unseen. Clarity was important to him (not to his girlfriend though). I don''t know if I should say something to him about the *possibility* that he could have gotten a better cut or bigger size for his money. I already tried to tell him (before he bought) to run things through the HCA to help him weed out diamonds, but I don''t think he did that. I''m guessing it''s possible that this is a great stone, but I''m really a novice when it comes to this. I''m hoping some of you with more experience could just give me some feedback on the numbers before I consider broaching the subject that he could possibly do better? Any thoughts on this? Should I keep my mouth shut? Should I just wait to see if he loves it when he gets it? Online store he bought from does have 30 day return.
Any thoughts or insights would be much appreciated! I know there are many whose stones don''t have the "best" numbers, but who love them anyways, but do you think the fact that this stone only got "Good" for Fire and Scintillation will mean it''s not really that great?
Thank you in advance!
